How to get there	This pass is very seldom used without also crossing Würzjoch/Passo delle Erbe/Ju de Börz (1996m) and in some cases Russiskreuz (1729m). The only way to avoid those passes is to start and end at Brixen/Bressanone (560m), oddly enough, and it is thus of little practical concern on its own. The shortest (because there is no dip on the way) climb starts where the Villnößtal/Val di Funes starts (above Klausen/Chiusa). This is probably the hardest climb, but all have steep sections. The roads are very good here.
Other comments	It is a very nice pass to climb from any direction, but the best thing is to visit both Würzjoch and go over Russiskreuz to/from the Villnößtal/Val di Funes. There ought to be water on the way in the villages. There is also a nice road up to the Plose mountain north of here to ca. 2050m and then a gravel road that turns less good the closer you get to the top. I managed to get with my road bike to the short walk to Lüsner Scharte/Forcella Luson (2383m) in 2003. This is another pass in the area with plenty of names and the two Italian names are probably due to confusion between Italian cartographers. ‘Halsl’ seems to be the only name locals use for this pass, thus I list it first. In some cases it is necessarily a bit arbitrary which name to list first for passes in this region – only giving Italian names that only Mussolini and friends has ever used for a pass might not be so clever, while some other passes are recognised by all by their Italian names; German names; etc. I try to go with local names first if the passes are not that well known by people from afar or by the sign, if there is any.
