Fernpass

Fernpass is a mountain pass located in the Austrian Alps, connecting the regions of Tyrol and the northern part of Italy. It serves as a vital route for both local traffic and long-distance travelers, facilitating the movement of people and goods across the mountains. The pass is approximately 1,470 meters (4,823 feet) above sea level and is frequented by vehicles traveling between Germany, Austria, and Italy. Due to its elevation, it can be affected by weather conditions like snow in winter, and it often requires careful navigation. Fernpass plays a key role in regional transportation and tourism in the Alps.
