Ilhéou Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This pass located at 2,256 meters above sea level is a pedestrian pass that connects the valleys of Ilhéou and Estaing.

It is a very vast, green passage offering spectacular views of the two valleys. In high season, herds (and patous, keep your distance) add a touch of authenticity to the picture.
