Timmelsjoch Road

(Local Name: Timmelsjochstrasse) The Timmelsjoch Road (Timmelsjochstrasse; toll road) crosses the Timmelsjoch, a pass almost 2,500m/8,200ft high, to link the Ötztal in Tirol with the Passeiertal (Val Passiria) in Italy, marking part of the Austro-Italian frontier. The road is normally open only from mid June to mid October (during the daytime); on the Italian side it is suitable only for cars (trailer caravans prohibited).
