The Pass Museum on the North Tyrolean side juts out like an erratic boulder into the South Tyrolean side, underlining the cross-border nature of the Timmelsjoch Experience. The 'Ice-cave' inside the museum pays tribute to the pioneers of the High Alpine Road and their remarkable accomplishment.

Discover all about:
- the history of the Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road
- the name Timmelsjoch
- a brooch dating back to the pre-Christian era
