Overlooking the pass are the ranges of Piz Üertsch (north) and Crasta Mora (south).

[4] The Albula Pass is an important axis from central Graubünden to Engadin.

It is traversed by a paved road from Thusis to La Punt, via Bergün.

East of the pass, on the Engadin side, is a lake named Albulasee (2,294 m) which is 4.2 ha large.

[5] West of the pass, at a further distance, is the larger Lai da Palpuogna, a popular stop on the Albula road.
