The hardest pass in the Basque Country, both in length and in percentage, 15 km
at 8.4% with a record over 4 km: 12% average! in a bucolic setting that takes us from a village and farm world to the thick forest and on to the high mountain meadows below the Orhy peak.

Points of interest
Etchemaïte
L'une des tables les plus réputées du Pays basque, une bonne récompense si vous gravissez le col.
Le Pic d'Orhy
C'est le point culminant de la Soule à 2 017 m d'altitude. Il est le premier "2000" des Pyrénées, en venant de l’océan Atlantique, et ses dimensions imposantes en font le géant des Pyrénées basques. De son sommet on aperçoit le golfe de Gascogne, le pic d'Anie et côté Béarn à l'est, les plus hauts sommets des Pyrénées.
