Pfitscherjoch is a 2246 m pass in the Zillertal Alps on the border between Tyrol, Austria, and South Tyrol, Italy. This road, used by the military in the war years, now sees a lot of hikers and cyclists conquering its switchbacks every year.

The Pfitscherjoch is great. I know both driveways, both are fun. The one from the Zillertal is of course more demanding because of the route from the Schlegeisstausee.
The Pfitschertal side is very nice to drive, never really steep.
