The Schlüsseljoch is a 2212 meter high mountain pass in the Zillertal Alps .
The Schlüsseljoch connects the Wipptal with the Pfitscher Tal . The access from the Wipptal is about 750 m south of Brennerbad on a small mountain road over the Zirogalm, which is located at 1750 m and is managed (mostly paved, later a road). From the Enzianhütte at 1895 m, which is also managed , the route to the pass runs over an old mule track . On the side of the Pfitscher valley you can reach the Schlüsseljoch via a steep old military track (coarse gravel) from the Mussolini era.
Today the pass is a popular crossing for mountain bikers on the circuit of the Olperer massif or on the way to Lake Garda .
