For me, this climb boiled down to 1hr in zone 3 (tempo), which made it a really good training ride. Once you are at the top, the view is spectacular: one of the best views you are going to get in the Dolomites.
What does the ideal climb look like (for me, that is)? Like this! Steep, but also very steady and around 10 km. If you are in the right climbing rhythm, where you know you can keep this up for an hour or so, then you can keep going. If not, this is really an inconvenience. There is no relief and you have to plan your pace changes well. If you want to force something too fast, you will get it back in the last kilometers. Also important, the climb offers everything a mountain landscape can offer: beautiful hairpin bends, cool forest with wild river, rugged landscape above the tree line and beautiful views at the top. And oh yes, a fast and fine descent to Cortina!
Hoe ziet de ideale klim eruit (voor mij dan)? Zo dus! Steil, maar ook heel regelmatig en rond de 10 km. Als je in het juiste klimritme zit, waarvan je weet dat je dit een klein uur kan volhouden, dan kan je prima door. Zo niet, dan is dit wel echt een onding. Verlichting is er niet en tempowisselingen moet je goed plannen. Als je te snel iets wilt forceren, krijg je dit de laatste kilometers echt terug. Ook belangrijk, de beklimming biedt alles wat een berglandschap kan bieden: mooie haarspeldbochten, koel bos met wilde rivier, ruig landschap boven de boomgrens en prachtige uitzichten op de top. En oh ja, een snelle en fijne afzink maar Cortina!
I cycled up this beautiful, continuously steep climb and found out that there is no time to recover.
The blood red graph from Climbfinder and the average percentage say it all.
From Selva the wide road climbs all the time via 28 adding hairpins and 3 tunnel galleries up the narrow valley of the Codalunga mountain river, which we cross a few times. If you think the Rifugio Fedare (cable car/mountain hut) that is high above you quickly comes in the field of vision as the top, you will be disappointed. You can get supplies there but it is only in turn 24 on the 2000 meter altitude limit.
The summit of the pass is a movingly beautiful 360° panorama of mountain ranges with one café/restaurant and a small chapel.
For me one of the most beautiful pass heights there is. Along the way many painted cheers on the road surface because this side is regularly the battleground in the Giro.
Top in all areas, one of the most beautiful Dolomites cols, mandatory climb for every cyclist!
Deze prachtige continu steile klim op gefietst en aan de lijve ondervonden dat er geen enkel recuperatiemoment is.
De bloedrode grafiek van Climbfinder en het gemiddelde percentage zeggen genoeg.
Vanuit Selva klimt de brede weg de hele tijd via 28 optellende haarspeldbochten en 3 tunnel galerijen het nauw dal van de Codalunga bergrivier, die we enkele keren over fietsen,naar omhoog. Als je de Rifugio Fedare (kabelbaan/berghut) die hoog boven jou vrij snel in het gezichtsveld komt als de top aanziet kom je bedrogen uit. Je kan je er wel bevoorraden maar men is nog maar in bocht 24 op de 2000 meter hoogtegrens.
De top van de pas is een ontroerend mooi 360° panorama van bergketens met één café/restaurant en een kleine kapel.
Voor mij één van de mooiste pashoogtes die er zijn. Onderweg veel geschilderde aanmoedigingen op het wegdek want deze zijde is regelmatig het strijdtoneel in de Giro.
Topper op alle gebied,één van de prachtigste Dolomieten cols, verplichte klim voor elke fietser!
