In Occitan, fache, facla means “rock bar”. The Col de la Fache is located at an altitude of 2,664 meters between the French department of Hautes Pyrénées and the Spanish province of Huesca.

A magnificent view is revealed on the Spanish side and its many lakes including the ibónes of Respomuso and Campo Plano. In the distance, you can also see the Pic du Midi d'Ossau and the large Aiguille d'Ansabère.

The French side offers stunning views of the Marcadau valley with Lac de la Fache in the foreground. We find there in particular the Vignemale and the Pic du Chabarrou.
To the south of the pass we find the Grande Fache, the highest point of Marcadau and the Pic de Cambalès which stands north of the pass.
