Pic de Nore

The pic de Nore (Occitan: Nòra) at 1,211 metres (3,973 ft) 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.

The main feature of the summit is the 102 metre transmission tower, which broadcasts:

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:

The climb from Cabrespine is 17.5 km long with a 5.4% average gradient.

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

The Tour de France passed over the summit for the first time on Stage 15 of the 2018 tour.
