Wolfgang Pass (1,632 m (5,354 ft)) is a highmountain pass in the easternSwiss Alps in thecanton ofGrisons inSwitzerland.
It connectsKlosters andDavos with Davos being almost level with the pass. The pass road has a maximum grade of 10 percent and is kept open year-round.
A line of theRhaetian Railway also crosses the pass since 1890.
The pass is comparatively low as a mountain pass and was historically used also for international trade via the southern adjacentScaletta Pass and later via the newly built road acrossFlüela Pass from 1868. This road is still closed nowadays in winter and motorists are forced to use theCar shuttle train through theVereina Tunnel (or drive a long detour viaJulier pass).
