Timmelsjoch
Crossing the border to Italy, the Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is a route of incredible drama – this toll road climbs through the dazzling and jagged Ötztal Alps before descending south to some of South Tirol’s most colourful scenery. Along the road, architectural sculptures reveal details about the area’s nature, history, culture, economy and society.
