The Kühtaisattel is a Tyrolean alpine pass that connects the Ötztal through the Nedertal with the Sellraintal . The watershed runs at a height of 2017 m above sea level. A. across the hotel resort Kühtai , a particularly remote district of Silz .

A state road leads over the pass as Sellraintalstraße (L13) from Tiroler Straße near Zirl to Jagdschloss Kühtai and from there as Kühtaistraße (L237) to Oetz and Ötztalstraße . In contrast to most of the other Alpine passes, the Kühtaisattel can be bypassed relatively easily, in this case through the Inntal , the pass road primarily serves to develop Kühtai.

In the Ötztal, the ramp begins at Oetz and is 17.5 km long and has a maximum gradient of 18%. The Kematen ramp is 26 km long and has a maximum gradient of 16% between Gries im Sellrain and Kühtai.

The Kühtaisattel is the first mountain test in the Ötztal Cycle Marathon . Because of the relatively low density of motor vehicle traffic, the Kühtaisattel is often used by racing cyclists and ambitious touring cyclists .
