The term "Gueule" can mean "pass" as well as "corridor" or "gorge". The topography of the area must therefore confirm the presence of a pass. In the case of "la Gueule à vent", there is no doubt that the pass is perfectly defined in the landscape.

Of particular note: the GUEULAZ pass near the Emosson dam (on the French-Swiss border), listed in the "Catalogue des cols de Suisse et du Liechtenstein" (CH-VS-1965) (see "The shop" section).
