남쪽 면에서의 오르막이 더 가파르지만, 양쪽 면 모두 즐겁습니다

Without a doubt, the Col de la Piedra de Saint Martin or Pierre Saint-Martin is one of the Top 10 in the whole of the Pyrenees. Without exceeding 2000 metres of altitude, it is a very long pass, with a lot of accumulated gradient (due to the innumerable French slopes, the gradient is 1,450 metres), with very hard slopes and several kilometres above 10%, with wonderful landscapes and panoramic views and with little traffic, except for the slopes crossed by the main road (D132 in France, the NA 137 in Spain). It is a pass with many slopes; in Europe there are few other passes that have as many slopes as this one (col de Turini, Passo delle Erbe, would be comparable in number of slopes approximately). I have only climbed it by 2 slopes: (i) my first time was from Lourdios Ichère, crossing the col de Labays and the col de Soudet. Simply spectacular; (ii) I have subsequently climbed the Spanish side on several occasions, which is unique, and which starts from Belagua and crosses the Belagua cross-country ski resort to reach the mountain pass. It is also very beautiful, with a landscape and views different from the north-east side. If I had to choose one of the two, I liked the north-west side better because it is more remote, harder and in my opinion more authentic. It is also a culturally special mountain pass because the Tribute of the 3 cows takes place on its summit every 13th of July, which is considered the oldest treaty in force in Europe. So... you know... you cannot miss the opportunity to come here and enjoy this wonderful jewel of the Pyrenees!!!!

This mountain pass is on the Franco-Spanish border. It is overlooked by the peak of Arlas which rises to 2,044 meters. From the pass, you can admire the valleys of Roncal in Spain and Haute-Soule in France.

Narrow road, lost in the mountains, very unknown

Not far on the GR10 to Lescun. ❤️ For me one of the most beautiful villages in the Pyrenees.

A small pass allowing a junction between Arette and the Col d'Ichère. A little steep start but a lot of peace and a beautiful landscape.

Different port. It combines high mountain green meadows with stony areas. A very photogenic 360 degree curve.
