Passo di Valparola – 2,192m

 
Passo di Valparola
Route: Italy SP San Cassiano La Villa to Passo di Falzarego - 10 miles Excellent
 
Ridden: 12/06/2009
 
Riding north from Corvara takes you to La Villa where a right turn takes you onto the Valparola. We thought this was a really nice open road where even the hairpins were nice and wide, although the experience on the day was slightly spoiled by some resurfacing at key points. Towards the top you pass some WWI fortifications. Before WWI there was only a rough track but this was turned into a road as part of the need to get supplies and men to the front. Just after the top the road drops down to join the Falzarego.
