The pass is beautifully nestled between the rolling meadows of Lüsen to the north and the Pütia meadows with the steep walls of the eponymous mountain (Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel) to the south. From here, you have access to one of South Tyrol's most precious natural landscapes:

From the Kreuzwiesenalm you have a wonderful view of the Peitlerkofel... Very nice mountain hut, which even has a sauna. The food is very tasty, and it's not for nothing that it's recommended by Gault-Millau. The camp offers a rustic place to stay overnight.

Near Malga Lira and on one of the paths between Luson and Cima Lasta, you can enjoy a splendid view of the snow-capped peaks of the Dolomites, while walking in complete tranquility in the quiet of the Alpe di Rodengo.

The roads to the Passo delle Erbe are a joy to ride from both Villnöß and Lüsen. They are generally quiet (especially from Lüsen) and generally have a good surface for a fast descent. From the Passo delle Erbe, you have beautiful views of the Peiterkofel and the Italian Dolomites. There are also plenty of opportunities to refill your water bottles and provisions up here. If you're planning a loop, I recommend not choosing the descent via Lüsen, as the asphalt is poorer there and, even in dry weather, is often wet with small streams. The route also often crosses wooden bridges, which overall diminishes the enjoyment of a fast road bike descent. However, this isn't a problem on the ascent.
