The summit is on the border between the communities of Andermatt in the Swiss canton of Uri on its west side and Tujetsch in Graubünden on the east side. A ridge leads from the summit without major differences in altitude on the canton border to the south to point 2742, then falls to Martschallücke ( 2684 m ) and then climbs to Rossbodenstock ( 2837 m ). From point 2742 a hiking trail continues in a south-easterly direction to the Badushütte and the Tomasee .
The summit is climbed in both summer and winter. For a long time there was a Swiss Army barracks on the saddle below the summit .
Contrary to the original plans from 1886, no large artillery plant was built on the Oberalp Pass for cost reasons , but Fort Stöckli was built back . In the expansion phase from 1895 to 1910, work was carried out on the Pazolastock to protect the right flank of the pass road. This also included a path to the Pazolaalp on the western slope of the mountain. In the following decade an "infantry defense line" ( Walter Lüem ) was set up, which stretched from the Pazolastock over the opposite Calmut ( 2310 m ) to the Fellilücke ( 2476 m ). The trenches and walls on the northern slope of the Pazolastock still bear witness to this today . The Oberalppass blocking point with two infantry units at the northern foot of the Pazolastock, at the western end and in the middle of the Oberalpsee , is more recent.
