The Passo della Foppa is an Italian alpine pass in Lombardy .
It connects the towns of Monno in the south and Grosio in the north. The top height is 1,852 m. The pass road is paved throughout, in places only one lane across the width of the road. There is a small gravel parking lot at the top of the pass.
The pass is better known today as Passo del Mortirolo, which is actually a side pass of the Passo della Foppa. This is the name given to the route from Monno.
Due to the heavy forest cover at the top of the pass, only a view to the west is possible.
