A fairly under-used pass, this one. As most of the long distance traffic takes the motorways, and it's a little steep and tight for most caravans. Which is nice. The Italian side has a series of tight hairpins stacked above each other (not unlike a miniature Splügen pass) through trees. The Austrian side has less hairpins, but is effectively steeper.
