Save your energy for the last 5km, be careful when it's windy.

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 ...

Large section above Alet les Bains is fenced off and blocks the route - even slipping around the fence isn’t worth it as the ridiculously steep climb is up a boulder field and unrideable in the direction shown. Some parts of the route are really nice but (1) private land and (2) impassable section makes it a bad day out - avoid

At 1,230 m, it's the highest peak in the Corbières. A very beautiful vantage point. However, the ascent from the southwest requires sturdy shoes and surefootedness.

Somehow a magical place with a great view (for the altitude). Unfortunately, you can't see the Pech de Bugarach at this point because of the forest. However, you can see this peak earlier on the eastern ascent route. Caution! The direct route on the Komoot maps from the south is overgrown and barely visible. I wanted to take it on the descent at dusk and turned back. In contrast, the longer, partially signposted route, initially along wide tracks and finally along a path from the east, is clear and easy to follow.

Great ride, quiet roads, far from the madding crowd

Very nice walk, varied nature, beautiful view, very pretty heather ☺️ Partially shaded.
