The Col de Saint-Bonnet stands at an elevation of 731 meters, connecting the municipalities of Saint-Bonnet-le-Courreau and Saint-Georges-en-Couzan in Loire department.

The mountain pass served as a crucial transportation route during the medieval period, facilitating trade between the Loire and Rhône valleys.
