The Col de Saint-Ignace is at an altitude of 169 meters. It is the starting point for many trails which lead to La Rhune and its surroundings. There is a car park but also a restaurant as well as the little train which leads to the summit of La Rhune.

The Saint-Ignace pass is the first on the pass route from the west. Culminating at an altitude of 169 meters, it presents little difficulty. There is a beautiful inn at the foot of the train which leads to the summit of La Rhune.

The Col de Saint-Ignace, nestled in the heart of the French Alps, is a scenic pass where you will be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and picturesque valleys. Once there, take the time to enjoy the restaurant located there or take advantage of the railway that serves the pass.
