The Gave d’Oloron (or lo Gave de Sauveterre) is a French river in the Pyrenees that flows through the departments of Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Landes (Nouvelle Aquitaine).
The word gave means torrential watercourse in Gascon.
The Gave d’Oloron rises in Oloron-Sainte-Marie from the confluence of the Gave d’Aspe and the Gave d’Ossau.
It is joined by the Gave de Pau upstream of Peyrehorade in the Landes department, where they form the combined gaves before flowing into the Adour. It is 148.17 km long.
