The southern slope of the pass is steep, while the northern flank is declivous. It consists of sandstones and slates. Volovets Pass is only sparsely populated with meadows dominating the landscape. Below the mountain pass there is a system of railway tunnels connecting Mukachevo and Stryj.
Automobile traffic across the pass is impossible since the road is too difficult to traverse. The nearest settlements are Oporec and Skotarskoe.
