Col des Bœufs, Mountain pass in La Réunion, France.

Col des Bœufs is a mountain pass at 1,956 metres on the ridge between the Salazie and Mafate cirques, on the boundary of Salazie and La Possession within Réunion National Park. The pass is the terminus of the forest road from Salazie and the start of the GR R3 trail to La Nouvelle. The saddle is flanked by steep dark grey and brown slopes, with conifer-like trees in vertical rows on the lower slopes and low shrubs and grass above.

The pass sits on the ridge line between the cirques of Salazie and Mafate and is the most frequented entry to Mafate. Access was closed for over a year after a rockfall; hikers then had to use the neighbouring Col de Fourche, adding about 30 minutes to the route from Salazie to La Nouvelle. It has since reopened, giving quick access to the Plaine des Tamarins and La Nouvelle.

The pass is the most frequented gateway into the Mafate cirque, a car-free enclave reachable only on foot, and the GR R3 trail from here leads to La Nouvelle, the cirque's main islet. The name Bœufs recalls the cattle once kept at the foot of the pass, notably on the Plaine des Tamarins.

The pass is the terminus of the forest road of Haut Mafate, reached by car from Salazie, with a supervised car park at the top. The GR R3 long-distance trail leaves from here towards La Nouvelle, the main islet of Mafate, and is described as relatively easy. A rockfall closed access for more than a year; the route via the neighbouring Col de Fourche added about 30 minutes. Access is now open again, giving quick reach to the Plaine des Tamarins and La Nouvelle.

The pass sits on the boundary between the communes of Salazie and La Possession, inside Réunion National Park. It is the most frequented gateway into the Mafate cirque, and the forest road of Haut Mafate ends here, at a supervised car park where the GR R3 trail to La Nouvelle begins.
