Passo di Giau – 2,233m

 
Passo di Giau
Route: Italy SP Del Passo Giau Pocol to Selva di Cadore - 14 miles Excellent
 
Ridden: 12/06/2009
 
From Pocol the road twists and turns as it gradually climbs about 680m in about 4.5 miles to the summit. The general opinion from our group was that the road surface was not as grippy as it appeared. The views from the summit are breathtaking, in all directions. The descent is far steeper, dropping 1,000m in 5 miles with a series of tight bends. Kyle and Phil both thought it was better to approach from the Pocol end and descend towards Selva di Cadore.

    2010 – Past winter has been hard on all Dolomite roads around Arabba, Corvara, Cortina. The Giau suffered the most and found myself changing lines at the apexes every 6-8 turns on the Cortina side do to holes. Road got better higher up and is still a beautiful ride.
