The Glas Pass is crossed by a small paved road, although it goes no further than Inner Glas (1,819 m), less than two kilometres west of the pass. The Glas Pass is connected from Thusis on the east side, via Tschappina. On the west side, a trail connects Inner Glas with Safien-Platz (1,315 m). The area is served by PostBus Switzerland during the summer season.
