ウエスカの峠・トップ20

A legendary mountain pass in the Pyrenees. A crossing point between the Chistau and Benasque valleys, linking Sobrarbe and Ribagorza at an altitude of 2000m.

The Bujaruelo Pass is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees, located in the Bujaruelo Valley, between Spain and France, and is an important historical crossing between the two countries. It lies at an altitude of 2,273 meters. It has been a communication route since Roman and medieval times, used by Romans, pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, shepherds, and merchants.

Good climb on a road bike

Well-developed Pyrenees pass between Spain (Torla, Bujarela) and France (Gavarnie, Lourdes), but 100% pushing

A magnificent cross-country route that I never tire of: France ➡️ Col des Mulets ➡️ Spain ➡️ Col d'Arratille ➡️ France 🤩 In this sense, although the climb to the Col des Mulets from Les Oulettes may seem steep, at least at the start, it is done quite quickly, in less than 2 hours. In September, you will no longer find snow on the path that connects the two passes. One point of attention, however: as you approach the Col d'Arratille, a passage may seem tricky for some and will require a certain agility. Indeed, a short rocky section, requiring the support of the hands, leads to a flat area from where you will continue your path without difficulty. At the Col d'Arratille, you will come across its lake, a jewel whose colors will remain in your memory for a long time.

Beautiful glacial cirques, interesting morphology. Fragile terrain and subject to erosion.

Splendid stony passage in Spain along the cirque between the two passes to return to France.

A fairly easy to access viewpoint which offers a magnificent view of the Gavarnie cirque and Mont Perdu Park.
