With just half a million inhabitants, it attracts nearly 6m holidaymakers annually. The Jaufenpass (Italian: Passo di Monte Giovo) (alt 2094m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the South Tyrol in Italy. It connects Meran and Sterzing on the road to the Brenner Pass. It is the northernmost pass in the Alps that is completely in Italy. The pass road is very winding, with many switchbacks.
