The Col de Somport is on the border between France and Spain at 1,632 meters above sea level. It has the particularity of being above the tunnel of the same name which is one of the most important crossing points in the Pyrenees.

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.

Its name comes from the Latin "Summus Portus" and to this day it is still one of the most important crossing points in the Pyrenees (partly thanks to the tunnel that crosses underneath). The mythical "Quebrantahuesos" cycling competition passes through here.
