    Perfectly passable, high alpine road.

    Unfortunately it is not the highest passable point in the EU (paved road).
    Peak height The tunnel exit to the Tiefenbach glacier is 2829 m high and in the Sierra Nevada the Veleta road leads to the highest point in Europe that can be reached by racing bike (approx. 3,300 m).
    But it is still a very nice driveway.
