Located within the Parco Naturale Sciliar-Catinaccio, this infamous gravel road to the summit is bumped. It is subject to winter snowfalls with such a high summit altitude, and it can be closed anytime when the access is not cleared of snow. Make sure you get your vehicle and yourself well-prepared before driving this road.
4wd vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Proper preparation is essential to having a safe, enjoyable trip on this road. At the summit there’s a mountain refuge inaugurated in 1963 known as Tierser-Alpl-Hütte (Rifugio Alpe di Tires). Special driving authorization is required.
