Mazamet Footbridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Filigree suspension bridge that swings over the valley high above the river. Masterpiece of engineering. You hardly feel any vibration. Definitely worth seeing, especially since access is free. Be sure to visit the KeduBo store in Hautpoul, right at the bridge. Great homemade sorbet.

Pic de Nore

Highlight • Summit

Despite its low altitude (only 1,211 meters), the Pic de Nore, located in the Aude department and the highest point of the Montagne Noire, can experience extremely harsh weather conditions. You can't miss its imposing red and white television antenna.

Pic de Nore Summit

Highlight • Summit

We like to compare, the Pic de Nore is a small Ventoux, its climbs from Mazamet or Villeneuve-Minervois are not as steep as that of the Ventoux from Bédoin but they still have to be earned. They are 17 and 22 km respectively, have an average gradient of 5.5% and 4.56%, with a maximum gradient of 11.8% and 10%.
For my part, I chose to join Pradelles-Cabardès via the forests from Limousis, passing in particular the Soulanes de Nore, I was treated to some good slopes with a double-digit percentage ...
Two legends would explain its name: in the first it is the fairy Nore who, annoyed by the damage caused to the crops by the Cers wind, would have planted her pike in the ground there, and as if by magic the rocks would have accumulated around to form the Pique de Nore. In the second, the wind of Cers is still blamed for its damage to human crops, not only there, and it is Nore, Bug and Arach who went to complain to Jupiter. Jupiter does not like to be disturbed, he transformed Nore into a mountain and Bug and Arach into the summit of Bugarach ...
