Mont Ventoux at end of March

[Simoon]

Has anyone any experience of doing Ventoux at the end of March? Any tips?

Yes, don't bother!
I don't think it will be open and, if it is, the chances are that it won't be open all the way up but it does depend on the snow at that particular time.

Unlikely you'd get to the top, but the road up to Chalet Reynard will be driveable. Whether you'd do it on a bike is another matter. You can ring the chalet on +44 4 90 61 84 55 for info about the road.
Personally I'd leave it a bit. Right now it's sleeting...

Thats a real pity - I am not going specifically to do the climb but it would have been great to do it of course. Naturally I will take advice when I get there but thanks for your feedback.

Chalet Reynard website has a weather report on it.

This bloke didn't make it up to the top on his 'bent because of the snow.
