How to get there From the north the pass road starts at Davos(-dorf) (1560m). It is by no means without climbing that one get to Davos, but this specific climb begins here. From the south one starts in the Unter-Engadin village of Susch (1412m). The climb is steeper on the south side, but also shorter. Despite being one of the best pass roads into the Engadin valley, it is not so very trafficated as it simply a bit remote and there are not many big villages in the area.
Other comments It is a pass that always seems remote and somewhat gloomy. It is nice if you like solitude. I got the idea that Graubünden (this larger area of Switzerland) got its name from the greyish site that this is. With the Ofenpass this creates a little used north-south crossing from Germany to Italy. There is water at one place on the north climb.
