1212 m ü. NN.
Der Fernpass ist kein Bergrücken, sondern eine Schüttung aus einem gewaltigen Bergsturz von vor 12.000 Jahren
The pass was created when a huge mountain slide (actually the collapse of an entire mountain, with an estimated volume of 1,000 km3; the third-largest mountain slide ever in the eastern Alps) filled part of the valley to a height of 300-400 meters, distributing its boulders up to 16 km away. While it was initially believed that this had happened at least 12,000 years B.P.
