Gerlos Pass (el. 1500 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Austrian Alps between the Bundesländer of Salzburg and Tyrol.
It connects the Oberpinzgau in the state of Salzburg with the Ziller River valley in Tyrol. The old road leads from Wald im Pinzgau to Gerlos in the Ziller valley. It is closed to trucking and not always open in winter. A new toll road that is open all year was built in the 1960s from Krimml to Gerlos by Großglockner-Hochalpenstraßen-AG.
