L246Imst to Hahntennjoch
A wild, narrow Tyrolean pass over the Lechtal Alps.
The L246 over the Hahntennjoch at 1,894 m links Imst and the Lechtal, a narrow, dramatic Tyrolean pass through rockfall country and tight switchbacks, beloved of motorcyclists. Demanding and exposed; mind the narrow sections, the loose rock after rain, and the steep, blind bends.
