| How to get there | This is the first pass on the Grossglocknerstrasse coming from the north. There is only a path going down the valley on the south of this pass (which goes back north, but in another valley). The paved road goes down to a café at Fuscher Lacke (2262m) where it again rises to the Hochtortunnel (2504m) via the Mittertörl tunnel (2375m). The climb starts in Fusch (811m) (south of Zell am See) in the north and at Winklern (890m) in the south. See the Hochtor pass description for full details. | |
| Other comments | The part up to Fuscher-Törl from Fusch is the hardest climb on the Grossglocknerstrasse. It could be made even harder by going up the cobbledstoned cul-de-sac road to Edelweißspitze (2572m) which takes off eastwards at the last bend before the Fuscher-Törl. [AT-SA-2406] |
