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 kilometers 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 cycle over a cattle fence. The road is flat for approximately 2-3 kilometers 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 kilometers with very varying (in quality) gravelled forest road, you suddenly will find approximately 1.5 kilometer 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 racer.
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 region. The road is a very quiet one even with some tourists. It is not easy to get down the gravel road with a racer, so you decide if you want to go there. A very fine pass. The last almost flat 50m or so to the actual pass might be gravel (someone said the very last part was gravel, but I am not sure even though I have been there), but this is essentially a good asphalted road and easy with a racer bicycle.
