This mythical site in the Pyrenees marks the border between France and Spain

Towering 2,807 meters above sea level, the Brèche de Roland is not just an imposing rock formation; it's steeped in medieval legend. This natural opening, 40 metres wide and rising to almost 100 metres, forms a remarkable passageway between France and Spain. On one side, it offers panoramic views of the Cirque de Gavarnie, while on the other, it reveals the Spanish side and the Ordesa National Park. Hikers on its trails are rewarded with breathtaking mountain scenery.

En partant du cirque de Gavarnie, malgré la pente assez raide par endroits, je recommande cette randonnée jusqu'à cette superbe faille naturelle qui marque la frontière entre la France et l'Espagne.
Le spectacle est éblouissant

Lieu magnifique, mai attention le chemin n'est pas balisé en venant d'Espagne, et on peut se retrouver au pas des izards, qui est dangereux quand il y a encore de la neige.

Randonnée effectuée sur une journée. Possibilité de monter depuis gavarnie ( beaucoup de dénivelé ) ou de déposer sa voiture au parking du col de boucharo (plus haut que gavarnie ) et d'avoir moins de dénivelé à faire. Très belle randonnée et la brèche est impressionnante ! A faire. Renseignez vous auprès des guides de montagne si il rreste des névés

this is brêche mythical and imposing, its glacier melts every year a little more, our most beautiful hiking, high mountain estate, in the area was over 2 days.
Departure from the col du tent, pass right while staying Boucharo however flan not to lose altitude and management Forqueta de Gabieto (not to venture there so subject to vertigo) then Puerto de Escusana, Collado de Salarous and just before las fajas los flores there is a perfect place to plant the tent.
The next day las fajas los flores and return to the col de tent by the brêche Roland.
It is heavenly...
