Jaufenpass

As the shortest route between Meran and Sterzing, between Sarntal and the Stubai Alps, Jaufen Pass connects Upper Wipptal with the Passeier Valley at an altitude of 2,094 meters. Although Jaufen has never really enjoyed national significance, due to its location, its widespread use for internal Alpine traffic can be traced back to the Stone Age. With 20 hairpin bends over a distance of almost 40 kilometers, this pass is one of the driving highlights of our stage.
