When does the Theth Alpine Road usually open and close?
In a typical year it is driveable from June to November. Exact dates shift with the snowpack: a heavy winter can push opening weeks later, and early snow can shut it ahead of schedule.
How high is the Theth Alpine Road?
The summit of the driven road sits at about 1,698 m (5,571 ft), which is why the season is set by snow rather than by the calendar.
