The climb, on the French side, begins in the village of Accous. It is 28 kilometers long for an average of 4.3%. The road really begins to rise from the village of Urdos.

Hiking

The Somport pass is located at 1640 meters above sea level and is one of the few mountain passes in the Pyrenees that are open all year round. This port also acts as the border between the Aragon Valley, in Spain, and the Aspe Valley, in France. This is the starting point of the Aragonese Way.

Historical passage of the Pyrenees to unite France with Spain. This port goes up from the town of Jaca to the top of the port, via the Aragon river valley. Hard ascent from the Canfranc station itself.
