Umbrail Pass (German: Umbrailpass or Wormserjoch, Italian: Giogo di Santa Maria) is a high mountain pass on the Italy–Switzerland border, connecting Santa Maria in Val Müstair with Bormio[1][2][3] in the Adda valley. On the Italian side, it connects to the Stelvio Pass road and the Valtellina. It is currently the highest paved road in Switzerland.
The sign at the top of the pass gives its elevation as 2,503 metres (8,212 ft) above sea level, but the reference level for Swiss elevation measurements has changed since the sign was erected, leaving 2,501 metres (8,205 ft) as the correct value according to current elevation.[2]
The pass is named after the "Piz Umbrail", a nearby mountain peak.
