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 ...

Beautiful view of the hilltop village of Cubserviès. You have to follow the road to reach the village, from where you can admire the highest waterfall in the Aude department.

The Cubserviès waterfall is a true masterpiece of nature: the Sambrès plateau dominates this part of the Montagne Noire with its cover of conifers. It drains several streams that join together and form the Rieutort. The river then enters a fault in the rock to form the Cubserviès waterfall. It is made up of several projections and is nearly 90 meters high, making it the highest waterfall in the Aude department. Needless to say, there is no access to the foot of the waterfall as it is so deep. In fact, you should not approach it, it is much too dangerous! The part visible from the belvedere reaches 35 meters, for the greatest pleasure of your eyes!

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.
