This is one of my favourite climbs in the Dolomites. It climbs through a wide and open valley steady throughout with lovely hairpin bends toward Passo Pordoi. There are views of the Sella throughout, flowers grow in the meadows by the roadside and in the early morning it was quiet and peaceful. We also descended this side in an earlier ride which is super fun, weaving through the hairpin bends.

The Pordoi is famous in Giro history and was on my priority list when visiting the area for the first time. I echo what others have said. I rode it twice in a few days - the first time in the sunshine and the next was as the second climb of the Maratona, this time riding through the clouds. Both ascents were enjoyable but of course in the sunshine with great views was the best. Nice road surface, plenty of switchbacks, and consistent gradient allowing a good rhythm. Do it and make sure you stop at the top to check out the Coppi memorial.

Beautiful climb from Arabba. Cycled in September 2023 as last ascent of Sella Ronda clockwise.
Unfortunately it was very cloudy so couldn't enjoy the beautiful views. Lots of hairpin bends and plenty of catering establishments at the top of the pass to refuel. Sella Ronda is the most beautiful lap you can cycle so this climb should not be missing from your list.

Mooi beklimming vanuit Arabba. In september 2023 gefietst als laatste beklimming van Sella Ronda klok mee.
Helaas was het zeer bewolkt dus niet kunnen genieten van de mooie uitzichten. Veel haarspeldbochten en boven op de pas voldoende horeca om even bij te tanken. Sella Ronda is het mooiste rondje dat je kunt fietsen dus deze klim mag niet ontbreken op je lijst.

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful side of the Pordoi. Directly from the village, the hairpin bends begin and this continues to the top. Very constant, so once you get into a rhythm you cycle delightfully uphill. You have on the way very good visibility of the curves below you, so you have easy contact with your fellow cyclists.
As a descent also fun to do, if you like to steer. In any case, the road surface is top notch.

Dit is wat mij betreft de mooiste kant van de Pordoi. Direct vanuit het dorp beginnen de haarspeldbochten en dat gaat tot bovenaan door. Heel constant, dus eenmaal in een ritme fiets je heerlijk naar boven. Je hebt onderweg heel goed zicht op de bochten onder je, dus je hebt makkelijk contact met je mede-fietsers.
Als afdaling ook leuk om te doen, als je tenminste van sturen houdt. Wegdek is in elk geval top.

Stunning climb. Great road surface, beautiful scenery and quiet (if you go early). Would also be a great road to descend!

I did this as part of the Sella Ronda from Corvana (clockwise). Absolutely loved it. Don’t miss it.

Magnificent climb. Through 33 hairpins in an open landscape up. The gradient is continuously 6-8 percent without peaks.
Quite a lot of traffic, but not annoying.

Prachtige klim. Via 33 haarspeldbochten in een open landschap omhoog. Stijgingspercentage is continu 6-8 procent zonder uitschieters omhoog.
Best veel verkeer, maar niet hinderlijk

The Passo Pordoï from Arabba is a nice steady climb without extremes, but as the last climb of the Sella Ronda
(Sella/Gardena/Campolongo/Pordoï) it could still count.
At the foot of the climb the 33 hairpin bends start immediately on a wide and good road surface between the alpine meadows towards the top, which turns into rocks and stone. Beautiful scenery with on the right side the imposing rocks of Sass PordoÏ and on the left in the distance the Marmolada group.
There are 2 short tunnels and there is a kilometre mark to the top. Pay attention because turn 33 is still a long way from the summit!
On top of the busy tourist pass we find, next to the extensive catering and souvenir shops, the monument of Fausto Coppi and the memorial bike of Gilberto Simoni. As a reminder of the importance of this climb in the history of the Giro.

De Passo Pordoï vanuit Arabba is mooie regelmatige klim zonder extremen,doch als laatste klim van de Sella Ronda
(wijzerszin=Sella/Gardena/Campolongo/Pordoï) kon hij toch tellen.
Bij de voet van de klim begint direct het haarspeldbochtenfestival van 33 stuks op breed prima wegdek tussen de alpenweiden naar de top toe overgaand in rotsen en steen. Mooi decor met langs de rechter zijde de imposante rotsen van Sass PordoÏ en langs links in de verte de Marmoladagroep.
Er zijn 2 korte tunnels en er is kilometeraanduiding tot de top. Opgelet want bocht 33 is nog een eindje van de top!
Boven op de drukke toeristische pashoogte vinden we naast de uitgebreide horeca en souvenirshops het monument van Fausto Coppi en gedenkfiets van Gilberto Simoni. Als herinnering van het belang van deze klim in de geschiedenis van de Giro.

I am lucky to have done many beautiful climbs, Ventoux, Stelvio, Mangart, Spain, Italy etc etc. But when you ride through the Dolomites and the sun is shining it doesn't get much more beautiful than this.
My last day in 2017 in this area, only 125 kilomter from San Cassiano to Bolzano. With the Campolongo as a warm-up, the Pordoi as a climax and then the Costalunga and Nova Ponente to unlearn it. We didn't know that a 4th category climb would follow and we didn't know that a huge hailstorm would drive us into the forest.

But let's focus on this giant, it's Friday and that weekend the Dolomite Marathon was on the program. That means that hundreds, if not thousands of people will be ascending this mountain that day. For us it was a farewell and for the others a preparation.
With my Italian beauty (Wilier Zero7) you cannot ride unnoticed in Italy and there are many Belezza's and Ciao's coming my way. A fantastic experience on a majestic climb.
You have no idea how big the rock formation is that you are looking at, suddenly I hear a helicopter and after some searching I see a dot moving in front of the rock face. It looked like a fly, that is how big the rock/mountain is. So impressive that you notice little of the climbing, keep breathing and especially enjoy. Resting in the s-bends and stopping occasionally for a photo. Once at the top, the wind made us shiver, with wind force 5 and a temperature around 5 degrees it made a long stay impossible. A quick refuel, some food and soon we were descending into the warmth.
An unforgettable day and I'm looking forward to my next encounter June 2021.

Ik heb het geluk al veel mooie beklimmingen gedaan te hebben, Ventoux, Stelvio, Mangart, Spanje, Italie etc etc. Maar als je door de Dolomieten rijdt en het zonnetje schijnt er lustig op los dan wordt het niet veel mooier als deze.
Mijn laatste dag in 2017 in dit gebied, nog maar 125 kilomter van San Cassiano naar Bolzano. Met de Campolongo als opwarmer de Pordoi als klapstuk en daarna de Costalunga en Nova Ponente om het af te leren. Dat er nog een 4de categorie klimmetje zou volgen wisten we niet en ook niet dat een enorme hagelbui ons het bos in zou drijven ook niet.

Maar even de focus op deze gigant, het is vrijdag en dat weekend stond de Dolomietenmaraton op het program. Dat betekent dat je met honderden, zo niet duizenden die dag deze berg opgaat waarbij het voor ons een afscheid was en voor de anderen een voorbereiding.
Met mijn Italiaanse schone (Wilier Zero7) kun je niet onopgemerkt rondrijden in Italie en er komen veel Belezza's en Ciao's mijn kant op. Een fantastische beleving op een majestueuze klim.
Je hebt geen idee hoe groot de rotsformatie is waar je naar kijkt, opeens hoor ik een helicopter en na wat speurwerk zie ik een stipje bewegen voor de rotswand. Het zag eruit als een vlieg, zo groot is de rots/berg. Zo imposant dat je weinig merkt van de klimmeters, blijven ademhalen en vooral genieten. Uitrusten in de s-bochten en af en toe stoppen voor een foto. Eenmaal boven deed de wind ons rillen, met windkracht 5 en een temperatuur rond de 5 graden maakte een lang verblijf onmogelijk. Even bijtanken, wat eten en gauw afdalen naar de warmte.
Een onvergetelijke dag en ik kijk uit naar mijn volgende ontmoeting juni 2021.

We cycled them as part of the Sella Ronda. This round is very worthwhile.

This mountain has many beautiful views and road surface is fine. The amount of traffic is a minus point. Too bad that so many people want to enjoy the mountain and the views

We hebben ze beklimming gefietst als onderdeel van de Sella Ronda. Deze ronde is zeer de moeite waard.

Deze berg heeft vele mooie uitzichten en wegdek is prima. De hoeveelheid verkeer is wel een min punt. Jammer dat er zo veel mensen van de berg en het uitzicht willen genieten
