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.
