High Alpine Road Timmelsjoch (Pass)

While not directly in Obergurgl, the Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is a spectacular scenic route connecting the Ötztal Valley in Austria with the Passeiertal Valley in South Tyrol, Italy. It's often referred to as a 'secret pass' due to its less-traveled nature compared to other alpine roads. It offers breathtaking panoramic views, dramatic hairpin bends, and unique insights into alpine geology and nature. Accessible only during the summer and early autumn months (typically late May/early June to late October, weather permitting) due to snow. A toll is usually required for passage. It's a must-do drive for motor enthusiasts and sightseers, with an altitude reaching 2,509 meters.
