Short high mountain road with a total length of 18km, located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.

The road starts in the junction with the D237, near Osse-en-Aspe, a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France. After 30 minutes driving, the road finish in the junction with the D132 road.


This road is usually open all year, but during winter months, it can be closed when the access is not cleared of snow. In winter, avalanches and heavy snowfalls can sometimes block some sections of the road and can be extremely dangerous in winter due to frequent patches of ice.
This infamous road is tightly hairpinned and bumped, an exquisite winding mountain drive with sharp and blind curves and hairpin switchbacks leading the traveler over the mountains. The road includes some steep sections, without market central lines, is very narrow, barely wide enough for 2 cars at the same time and it has not protections or guardrails. The surface of the road is asphalted, and chains or snow tyres can be required anytime.


Due its climb in elevation over thousands of feet, and pass through remote areas, it is important when driving in these conditions to be prepared. Check weather forecasts before leaving home, and remember that it becomes cooler and often more prone to storms at higher elevations. Be prepared with jackets, water, and emergency kit in your car.
