The Norbertshöhe (also Norberthöhe ) is a mountain pass in the Austrian - Swiss border area between the Tyrolean municipality of Nauders and the Swiss town of Martinsbruck in the Lower Engadine . He is at 1405 m above sea level. A.

It is part of the old connecting road between Nauders and the rest of Tyrol . Before the construction of the B180, Reschenstrasse , in the 1840s, Nauders was only connected to the Tyrolean Upper Inn Valley via the Lower Engadine .

The Martinsbrucker Straße B185 leads over the Norbertshöhe , this is passable all year round and can be used as a substitute connection to the rest of Tyrol if the Reschenstraße is closed during heavy snowfall between Pfunds and Nauders.
