Isn't a "Pas" just a mountain pass:

"Col" is the usual word for a mountain pass.
Yes, the french are a lot more consistent in their "naming" of mountain
passes (Col ...) compared to e.g. german: "Joch", "Scharte", "Pass",
"Sattel", ...
I only know two of those "Pas" in france "Pas de Peyrol" and "Pas de la
Couelle" that "qualifies" as a mountain pass (but there maybe a bit more
of them).
Pas seems often to be used more generally for a passage, as in "Pas de
Calais" (Strait of Dover).
