Can anyone tell me if there is a weight limit on the Col du Somport, I have been over it a few times but as all my previous m/hs have 3500kg or less I have never taken much notice the weight limit.
Nothing to indicate a weight limit in the current (2012) version of the Caravan Club Europe 1 ( page 92). It does say that the maximum road width is 3.5 m.
If you use the tunnel, I don't think there is a weight limit. It is toll free.

G and peedee, i want to go over not under the Col and have been on several occasions before. but looking at the road sign on entering the Col pass it states weight for trucks is 3.500t 4.0m height.
is your last post the answer to your first post then
Kev, it looks like that but I have seen larger vehicles than mine (5000kg x 3.1m x 8.7m) and certainly heavier m/hs that 3.500kg in the past but as its a few years since I have done that route things may have changed

I quoted you the information for the pass. The information for the tunnel is on a further page ( p93) and does not give a weight limit either.
To confirm: CC1 does not specify a weight limit for the pass- ie the road not the tunnel.
