Материал из Онлайн справочника
The Gave d'Ossau (Шаблон:IPA-fr) is the torrential river flowing through the Ossau Valley, one of the three main valleys of the High-Béarn (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Southwest of France.
It is formed in Gabas from the confluence of two gaves coming from both sides of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau:
- the Gave de Bious, from the Pic d'Astu (west)
- the Gave du Brousset, from the Anéou Circus (east).
After joining the Gave d'Aspe, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, it forms the Gave d'Oloron. It is considered the upper course of the Gave d'Oloron by Sandre.[1]
Throughout its length, the river is paralleled by the D934 road that runs from Pau to Spain, via the Col du Pourtalet.
In Castet, a dam forms the Lac de Castet.
