| How to get there | If you come from Passo Sella, then this pass is not so difficult. From either Canazei (1440m) to the west or Arabba/Rčba (1601m) to the east, this is a somewhat hard pass, but on a wide and good road with many serpentines. (Alternative starting points are also: Caprile (998m); Rocavaz (1311m) if coming from Passo Giau or Forcella Staulanza; Cernadoi (1414m) if coming from Passo Falzŕrego.) | |
| Other comments | There is usually a lot of traffic on this road as it is the king of the roads in the Dolomites where all tourists wish to go. It is almost ridiculously lovely lower down after Arabba, so no wonder it is popular. It also offers views of the highest mountain in the Dolomites – the Marmolada mountain (3342m) with its glacier. Water should not be a problem. The weather is rather unpredictable in the Dolomites, especially in the afternoon it often comes a shower without much advance warning. [IT-BL-2239] |
