The Resia Pass (Italian: Passo di Resia, German: Reschenpass), at an altitude of 1507 m, is located in the German-speaking Italian region of South Tyrol, about 1.5 km south of the Austrian border.
To the northwest of the pass is the Dreiländerpunkt, a tripoint between Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
On the Italian side, the pass opens onto the Val Venosta, the upper valley of the Adige, which rises near the pass; the slope is relatively gentle. On the Austrian side, it opens onto the upper valley of the Inn; on this side, the road, more entrenched between the mountains, descends to Nauders.
