Hahntennjoch (West Side)
Hahntennjoch (el. 1894 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Austrian Alps in the Bundesland of Tyrol. The road leads from Imst to Elmen, a distance of 29 km. It is popular with motorcyclists and cyclists. It is a much shorter route than the Fernpass or the Flexenpass over the Arlberg. The road is winding and steep, and is closed to traffic over 14 metric tons. The road is generally closed from November to April. The pass is prone to avalanches, falling rocks, and mudslides. In 2004, an automatic system was installed that closes the road in case of blockage. This west side has a brutal start, before an easier middle part of about 8 kilometers. The final 5 kilometers to the top are steep.
