Timmelsjoch / Passo del Rombo

Austria · B186 / SS44bis

Dramatic trans-alpine gateway connecting Austrian Tyrol with Italian South Tyrol at 2,509m (8,232 ft). The Austrian northern ramp features sweeping, wide curves and the Top Mountain Crosspoint motorcycle museum at the toll plaza. The Italian southern ramp drops 6,000 vertical feet down Val Passiria via 30 incredibly tight hairpins, steep 12% grades, and unlit rock tunnels carved into granite cliffs. Toll road on Austrian side (~€18 motorcycle one-way). Closed mid-October to late May.

Timmelsjoch / Passo del Rombo runs 32 miles between Sölden / Hochgurgl, Tyrol, Austria and San Leonardo in Passiria, South Tyrol, Italy. We count about 180 corners along it, which is consistently bendy. Demanding, and not a road to meet in the wet.
