On the ICAO Aeronautical Charts 1:500000 or V500 Charts, mountian passes are shown with the symbol and height in ft.

There they are called "pass" or "mountain pass" in the legend, e.g. on maps of Germany or Austria.
I would expect to find them on all other ICAO maps as well.
Usually, but not always, the name is also given.

Since these passes are very important for flight planning and execution, could you please show them on the charts.

We have shown these passes for years.

There is a mistake in the current charts where VRPs are colocated with them, which can make them difficult to see. This mistake is resolved for tomorrow's chart update, so they'll be clearer then.

I'm missing furtheron the passes in Austria. Would it be possible also? For route planning it would be very helpful. Thank You very much in advance.

     I confirm we'll have lots of passes in Austria in our next update.
