How to get there From the north you start in Susch (1412m) or Zernez (1464m) in the Engadin valley and climb via Ova Spin (1879m). If you come from the west – Livigno, you will start the climb at Punt la Drossa (1711m). In Sta. Maria im Müstair (1375m) the southern climb starts, which may be slightly harder than the north one.
Other comments It is quite nice villages at the starting points and the national parkland on the north side is very unusual and interesting, but ultimately this is not one of the nicer Alps passes. It is not a very difficult pass either. The traffic is somewhat moderate even though it should be an obvious through route, but heavy lorry traffic probably much prefer the Reschenpaß. Simple accomodation could be found at the hostel in Sta. Maria and accomodation should also be possible to find in Zernez for example.
