The pic de Nore (Occitan: Nòra) at 1211 metres is the highest point in the Montagne Noire, on the border of the Aude and Tarn departments, near to the Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc in southern France. The Arnette and Clamoux rivers both have their sources on the slopes.

  • CyclingEdit

    Since 2002 the summit is the finishing line for two timed climbs from Mazamet and Villegly (flat until Cabrespine).

    The current record holder for both routes is Michel Ambrosini:

  • Mazamet (via Pradelles): 52'30 "(28.57 km/h)
  • Cabrespine: 40'52 "(25.69 km/h)
  • The climb from Cabrespine is 17.5 km long with a 5.2% average gradient.

    The climb from Mazamet is 17 km long with a 5.7% average gradient.

    The climb from Mazamet (via Pradelles) is 25 km with an 3.9% average gradient.

    The climb up the slopes of Mas Cabardès, is shorter, at 15.1 km with a 6.1% average gradient but with some very difficult passages over 13%.
