How to get there	From the east you go up the Valle Bedretto from Airolo (1178m) (which is at the foot of the St. Gotthardpass). From the west you turn off the upper Valais valley at Ulrichen (1347m) where the proper climb starts on this side. It is a somewhat hard climb on both sides, but it is steeper on the Ulrichen side.
Other comments	It is a rather bleak pass, but has some quite nice views at the top and down the Bedretto valley. It is the highest Swiss pass with both sides in Switzerland. There is a bar at the pass height. There are shops in both Airolo (boring shop in the shopping centre) and in Ulrichen. There are plenty of good choices for accomodation in the upper Valais valley. Camping is posible in the Bedretto valley. There are some concrete pavement left on the Bedretto side, where you also could gain rather high speeds (down). [CH-TI-2478b;o524]
