Col de Port (1249 m) is a mountain pass in the French Pyrenees between Massat and Tarascon-sur-Ariège in the "Massif de l'Arize". It links the Couserans and Ariège valleys. The pass is used occasionally in the Tour de France (first in 1947) and is popular with touring cyclists. The name of the pass is tautological as Col means pass in French and Port means pass in Occitan.
