The road is closed to most traffic, but is used by a PostBus Switzerland service from Grindelwald to the summit of the pass, with some buses continuing to Meiringen.

Bus services operate between May and October, with between four and ten buses a day depending on time of year and section of the route.

The falls can be visited from the pass road, or by using the Reichenbachfall Funicular from the valley bottom.
