How to get there	This is a hard climb from any direction. From the north this specific climb starts at La Villa/Stern (1400m) and is somewhat steep all the way up, but could climbed without interruption from St. Lorenzen/S. Lorenzo di Sebato (808m). One could also start between these places (if coming from Furkelpass) in Zwischenwasser/Longega (1005m). From the south the climb is very short and easy from the Passo Falzàrego/Fouzargo (2105m). You are however likely to have started out on the climb further down at Caprile (998m) in the south or at Cortina d’Ampezzo (1211m) to the east. From both these places it will be a hard climb.
Other comments	It is a very beautiful pass (as with so many other Dolomite passes of the region), but this is one of the most beautiful of them. It is a bit special with its rocky landscape at the pass height. There are also very good views on the approaches from either side. The climb from Cortina is not quite as nice as the other directions. There are plenty of good accomodations around (in La Villa for example). There should be water in the villages. The geographical pass seems to be at 2168m (and descend along a path a little differently from the road on the south side). [IT-BL-2196]
