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.

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.
