About This Route
A climb up the Tena valley from Jaca to the French border at the Col du Pourtalet, 1,794 m. The A-136 follows the Gállego river, passes the Búbal and Lanuza reservoirs and the village of Sallent de Gállego, always with the Pyrenean peaks ahead. The last kilometres to the pass are open and fast, with views of the Pic du Midi d’Ossau.
