Staller Sattel (Italian: Passo Stalle) (el. 2052 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps on the border between the Bundesland of Tyrol in Austria and Italy.
It connects the Defereggen River valley in East Tyrol with the Antholz River in South Tyrol, which has belonged to Italy since 1919 and is known in Italian as Trentino-South Tyrol.
The pass is open only from May to October from 5:30 am to 22:00. The Italian side is very narrow, at points only one way, and prohibited for trailers and caravans.
Starting in 2007, a toll of 5 euros is planned for automobiles and motorcycles. The revenue will be split between Italy and Austria.
