Cycling

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 5.2% 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.
