| How to get there |
From the east you start just above Falcade at 1400m, when coming down from Passo di San Pellegrino/Pas de Sèn Pelegrin (1918m) and climb steeply up to the pass. It will be a longer climb with if you begin down in the Agordino valley at Cencenighe Agordino (773m). The other approach starts from the west just after Paneveggio (1558m), where the main road goes straight ahead to Passo di Rolle (1972m). One can of course also start down in Predazzo (1016m). This is a somewhat steep climb, but it is not long and not as steep as on the east side. |

At the pass height (on the east side) a little gravel road (that looks bad) is not so bad and can take you up to a higher pass from where you will have much better views Forcella di Pradazzo (2220m). The photo is taken on this gravel road. Lower down, before the coming down to the Passo di Rolle road on the west side, a gravel road takes off up to Passo della Costazza/Baita Segantini (2175m). Even though this road is more prominently featured on maps than the previous mentioned road, this is not cyclable with a racer for a few kilometers (on the north side). However, you can get to this gravel pass by starting at the pass height of Passo di Rolle, on which side the gravel road is in a near to perfect state (better than many paved roads). Falcade probably has lodging and one could stay the top too. Water at the pass.
