How to get there	The pass road is only fully surfaced from the north. The northern climb starts east of Welsberg/Monguelfo (1121m), where a small road takes off up the Pragstal. Soon you will take left and after some kilometres a paved forestry road goes nicely and easily in serpentines to the pass. There is only a short steep ramp just as you reach the pass. The road only continues as a gravel road after the pass and you even have to lift your bicycle over a cattle fence. The road is flat for approximately 2-3 kilometres on the nice plateau. The road up from the south starts in Schluderbach/Cartonin (1432m) and is not too obvious as it is only a small forestry road that is closed off at start, but you can pass by. After a couple of kilometres with very varying (in quality) gravelled forest road, you suddenly will find approximately 1.5 kilometre of fine asphalt road right there. The last part to pass is very rough and you are likely to have to walk there and a few other small parts with a road bike.
Other comments	Highest point on the gravel road is 2004m. (Just where the photo was taken.) There are usually many people up walking in the top area. The road is a very quiet even with some tourists. It is not easy to get down the gravel road with a road bike, so you decide if you want to go there, but it is a very fine pass. The last almost flat 50-100m or so to the actual pass might be gravel (cannot remember exactly where the asphalt ended, but the last steep ramp is asphalted to the top area). This is essentially a good asphalted road and an easy pass with a race bicycle. [IT-BZ-1993]
