    The port of Vénasque, or “puerto de Benasque” in Spanish, is a pass in the Pyrenees located on the Franco-Spanish border. Culminating at 2,444 meters above sea level, it separates the Pique valley to the north and the Esera valley to the south.

    Its small rocky passage nestles between the Mine and the Pic de Sauvegarde. The panorama is absolutely magnificent, both on the French and Spanish sides.

      A highly recommended and beautiful hike. The Port de Venasque is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees. It is located on the border between France and Spain and is a popular border crossing point for mountaineers and walkers. It can be reached in about two to three hours from the Hospice de France, south of Bagnères-de-Luchon in France. This port connected the Benasque valley in Spain with the Glère de Luchón valley in France.

      On both slopes, there were two hospitals, that of Saint Jean de Jouéou on the French side at 1,005 m.a.s.l. called hospice, and the old hospital of Benasque located at the foot of the port of Glera on the Spanish slope at 1,775 m.a.s.l.
