How to get there This pass is on a very narrow road leaving off the Passo del San Gottardo/St. Gotthardpass/Son Gottard (2106m) at the old road close to where the 2091m sign is placed. It is a road popular with walkers and you will not imagine to meet a car on the road (though it could happen). If you start the climb from Airolo (1156m) this is a long climb, but as a separate climb between the Gotthardpass and Passo Scimfuss (2242m) it is simply on the way to/from Passo Scimfuss.
Other comments The pass is on the road that climbs to a dam. The Passo Scimfuss is reached by turning off this road just after this pass. After passing Passo Scimfuss, it is best to go back to the Gotthardpass again! Look at Passo Scimfuss and Passo del San Gottardo/St. Gotthardpass/Son Gottard for more information. (The photo is of the 2091m sign on the old road over St. Gotthardpass.)
