The pass is traversed by a trail, which connects the village of Weisstannen, in the canton of St. Gallen at an elevation of 1,004 m (3,294 ft), with the village of Elm, in the canton of Glarus at an elevation of 977 m (3,205 ft). The trail forms part of the Alpine Pass Route, a long-distance hiking trail across Switzerland between Sargans and Montreux.

The alpine pasture below the pass on the St Gallen side is notable for its marmot colony.
