Passo di Sella – 2,244m

 

Route: SS242 Selva di Val Gardena to Canazei - 13 miles

 

Ridden: 10/06/2009, 12/06/2009, 13/06/2009 & 14/06/2009

 

The Sella pass connects the Val Gardena in the Bolzano province with the Val di Fasso in the Trentino province. The Gardena and Pordoi passes run off it. Together with the Campolongo pass running between Arabba and Corvara these 4 passes form a quadrangle surrounding the Sella massif.

 

From both sides the Sella - although tight in places - is reasonably surfaced and reasonably open so you can get a good flow going. Our first pass in the Dolomites, crossed by both groups on the way to Arabba on 10th June 2009.
