Urdos

Urdos lies along the Gave d’Aspe in the upper Aspe Valley, where steep Pyrenean slopes rise towards the Col du Somport on the Spanish border. This small commune in Béarn stands on the old trans-Pyrenean route linking Pau with Aragón, a passage known since antiquity. The modern Somport Tunnel, opened in 2003 beneath the pass, carries road traffic between France and Spain, while the valley retains a distinctly high-mountain character. Stone-built homes, pastoral land and the river give the settlement a practical, secluded identity rather than the atmosphere of a resort.
