The Col d'Aubisque ((オック語:Còth d'Aubisca)) (elevation ) is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees south of Tarbes and Pau in the department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, in the Aquitaine region of France.〔Chany, Pierre (1988), La Fabuleuse Histoire du Tour de France, La Martinière, France, p112〕 The pass is on the northern slopes of the Pic de Ger () and connects Laruns, in the valley of the Gave d'Ossau, via Eaux-Bonnes (west) to Argelès-Gazost, in the valley of the Gave de Pau, via the Col du Soulor (east). The road crosses the Cirque du Litor, in the upper part of the Ouzom valley. It is generally closed from December to June. The pass is starting point of excursions and a centre for winter sports. In summer, it is popular with cyclists. It is regularly part of the Tour de France, generally rated an ''hors catégorie'' climb. ==The col== The summit of the col is marked by a commemorative plaque to André Bach (1888–1945), a member of Legion of Honour and President of the ''Cyclo Club of Béarn'' (C.C.B.). André Bach was mutilated during World War 1 when he lost his left arm in 1916. In 1943 he was deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, and he died in May 1945 at Boulay-Moselle while returning home. The stele was inaugurated on 26 September 1948, and every year is the focus of a memorial ride.〔(Sud Ouest, Le pèlerinage des cyclos du CCB à l'Aubisque (The pilgrimage of cyclists at the CWB Aubisque). )〕 The inscription reads: ''André Bach 1888-1945'' ''Officier de la Légion d'honneur'' ''Grand mutilé - Président du C.C.B. - Mort en Déportation'' ''Pour perpétuer son souvenir en ce lieu qu'il aimait tant'' ''Ses amis Les Cyclotouristes du C.C.B. 1948'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Col d'Aubisque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
