At the top of the pass, on the Austrian side, is Carinthia's largest ski area. The heart of the mountains is the so-called hotel zone with numerous hotels and holiday homes, surrounded by larger villages with alpine chalets since 2015 and 2023, respectively.[2][3] The valley towns are Tröpolach (Slovene: Tropolje, municipality of Hermagor) in the Gailtal Valley and Pontebba (German: Pontafel, Slovenian: Pontabla) in the Canal Valley. For several years, there have been plans to connect the ski area with ski lifts from the Italian Canal Valley.

On January 1, 1949, the Austrian section was incorporated into the Carinthian state road network and operated as state road no. 22 until 1972. From October 1, 1972, to 2002, it was part of the Austrian federal road network; subsequently, it became state road B90.

A cluster of hotels at the top of the pass road. Pure mass tourism, especially in winter.
From here, turn left to the border and right to the Tressdorfer Alm.
