The saddle Sandjöchl ( Italian Passo del Santicolo ) is a 2165 m slm high incision in the Brenner border ridge of the Stubai Alps , which the Pflerschtal in South Tyrol in the south with the Obernbergtal in Tyrol connects the north. Since the Treaty of Saint-Germain came into force in 1920, this is the border between Italy and Austria .
The Sandjöchl is the only crossing in the border ridge that is directly accessible on the Italian side via a partly asphalt road, an old military road of the Vallo Alpino and is therefore popular with mountain bikers.
On the north side a hiking trail leads to Obernberg am Brenner .
