How to get there From the east the climb starts in Cortina d’Ampezzo (1211m) or at Pocōl (1530m) if you are coming down from Passo Giau. It is not steep, but a bit long and hard nonetheless. The same goes for the approach from the south at Caprile (998m).
Other comments It is a beatuiful pass, but not as beautiful as up at Passo di Valparōla. It is nicer on the south approach than on the east from Cortina, which is mostly wooded, even though you can see some of the nice peaks at Cinque Terre on the way and there are some nice views lower down below Pocōl. Lodging should not be a problem, but Cortina is more expensive than other villages around.
