Italy–Switzerland Border Stone

Highlight • Monument

Since, as is often the case, the pass signs are completely covered with stickers, taking photos in front of them is no longer fun. Alternatively, you can use the boundary stone to take a "proof photo." On the other side of the road, there's another, smaller stone with the elevation: 2113 m.

Lago di Montespluga

Highlight • Lake

The lake was formed by the construction of two dams, one of which bears the date 1931 (which suggests that it was built during the fascist era, as part of the major works policy). Situated at an altitude of 1901m, it offers the opportunity for a break before finishing the ascent of the pass.
