Mountain roads here open and close with the snow, landslides and clearance work — and there's no official real-time feed. What we can show you honestly is each route's typical season, plus the official channels that post the day's actual advisories. Always confirm before you travel.
Where we have a dated advisory from the administration, it's shown below with its date. Everything else is a seasonal estimate based on each pass's usual open months — not a live reading, and a single storm can shut a road in summer. For the current position, check the official sources, and once your dates are set we'll give you an honest word on the road with your booking.
