The Staller Sattel ( Italian Passo Stalle ) is a mountain pass in the Eastern Alps . It connects the Antholz Valley ( South Tyrol ) in the west with the Defereggental ( East Tyrol ) in the east and separates the Rieserferner group in the north from the Villgraten mountains in the south. The pass is at an altitude of 2052 m . Since the Treaty of Saint-Germain came into force in 1920, the border between Italy and Austria has run across the Staller Sattel .

The pass is only open 24/7 from mid-May to late October. On the Italian side, due to the narrow street width, there is a one-way regulation and a traffic ban for caravans and buses. The drive from the top of the pass to the west is possible from the 1st to the 15th minute, the drive from Lake Anterselva (Italy) in the direction of Austria from the 31st to the 45th minute of the hour. A corresponding regulation by traffic lights exists.
