Done during the SellaRondaBikeDay 7/9/2024 (not to be missed). This, too, is a climb without any particularly hard gradients, but if you come from the Gardena Pass, it starts to feel a bit heavy. The panorama is stupendous and you leave Trentino and enter the province of Belluno.
Fatto durante il SellaRondaBikeDay 7/9/2024 (da non perdere). Anche questa è una salita senza pendenze particolarmente dure, però se si arriva dal passo Gardena comincia un pò a pesare. Il panorama è stupendo e si lascia il Trentino entrando nella provincia di Belluno.
Climbing becomes a minor matter on this ascent, the views of the mountains are simply too beautiful for that.
Outside of the Sella Ronda Bikeday, there can certainly be a lot of traffic.
Das Klettern wird auf diesem Anstieg zur Nebensache, die Aussichten auf die Berge sind dafür einfach zu schön.
Außerhalb des Sella Ronda Bikedays kann es sicherlich viel Verkehr geben.
I rode the Sella as part of the Sella Ronda which is a fabulous ride. The Sella pass climb in itself is unremarkable but you come here for the scenery which is out of this world. You climb between the Sella and the Lang
& Plattkofel and the road offers superb views.
Tackled during a Sellaronda Bike Day. There are more difficult and iconic climbs, but for the unique landscapes it offers, it is definitely worth doing!
Affrontata durante un Sellaronda Bike Day. Ci sono salite più difficili e iconiche, ma per i paesaggi unici che offre è assolutamente da fare!
A magnificent climb. The panorama is unparalleled, the gradients challenging but steady and never hard. Some of the straights are windswept, but in the final kilometres the landscape is high mountain, with pastures alternating with barren stretches, free-roaming animals and crisp air. At the summit, one feels a taste of "conquest". The descent to Val Gardena is no less fascinating. I think it is the most beautiful climb of the (few) I have ever done.
Una salita magnifica. Il panorama é ineguagliabile, le pendenze impegnative ma costanti e mai dure. Qualche rettilineo é insidiato dal vento, in compenso negli ultimi chilometri il paesaggio é di alta montagna, con pascoli che si alternano a tratti brulli, animali in libertà e aria frizzante. In vetta si avverte un sapore come di "conquista". La discesa verso la Val Gardena non é meno affascinante. Penso sia la scalata più bella di quelle (poche) che ho mai fatto.
Fantastic scenery! A climb not to be missed, especially with the roads closed to traffic during the Sellaronda Bike Day.
Paesaggi fantastici! Una salita da non perdere, soprattutto con le strade chiuse al traffico durante il Sellaronda Bike Day.
It's one of those climbs where you want to stop every kilometre to take pictures. You just don't know where to look. Incredible views, good tarmac, mild percentages. I've biked 'm during the Sella Ronda Bike Day in June 2022; the Sella Ronda is then closed for motorized traffic. It is then very busy with cyclists, but I prefer that than hordes of motorcyclists and cars.
Zo'n klim waar je elke kilometer wel wil stoppen om foto's te maken. Je weet gewoon niet waar je kijken moet. Ongelooflijk mooi uitzicht, prima asfalt, milde percentages. Ik heb 'm gefietst tijdens de Sella Ronda Bike Day in juni 2022; de Sella Ronda wordt dan afgesloten voor gemotoriseerd verkeer. Het is dan wel heel druk met fietsers, maar dat heb ik liever dan hordes motorrijders en auto's.
This part of the Sella Ronda tour. All the good and bad things that are associated with the Sella Ronda are valid for this climb as well. Too crowded during Summer but in these surroundings, all is forgiven ;-) It is a short climb so don't forget to enjoy the surroundings because you are at the top before you know it.
Cycled up this short climb as the last one of the Sella Ronda which for me started in Canazei (counter clockwise Pordoï/Campolongo/Gardena/Sella).
Route starts at the three way junction in Plan de Gralba and winds to the top via a long series of gentle bends. Occasionally there is a slight downhill section but always between 5-10％ with short peaks. After 4.5 km you have the impression to have reached the top, but it is the parking lot of the tourist Sassolungo cable car with the Dolomiti Mountain Resort Hotel next to it. The road rises another kilometer to one of the most beautiful pass heights of the Dolomites. On the very narrow passage, between one souvenir shop and one hotel, traffic is jammed because everyone wants to enjoy the magnificent view of the three peaks of the Sassolungo, the Sella Massif and the Marmolada glacier.
On busy summer days, the pass is therefore marred by parked cars on the side of the road!
Short climb in magnificent natural scenery!
Deze korte klim op gefietst als laatste van de Sella Ronda die voor mij begon in Canazei (tegenwijzerszin Pordoï/Campolongo/Gardena/Sella).
Route start op het driewegen kruispunt in Plan de Gralba en kronkelt naar de top via een lange reeks van flauwe bochten. Heel af en toe een licht dalend gedeelte maar toch steeds tussen 5-10％ met korte uitschieters. Na 4,5 km heb je de indruk de top te bereiken maar het is het parkeerterrein van de toeristische Sassolungo kabelbaan met ernaast het Dolomiti Mountain Resort Hotel. De weg stijgt nog een kilometer verder tot voor mij één van de mooiste pashoogtes van de Dolomieten. Op de heel smalle doorgang, tussen één souvenirwinkeltje en één hotelletje,stropt het verkeer want iedereen wil genieten van het schitterend uitzicht op de drie pieken van de Sassolungo,het Sellamassief en de Marmolada gletsjer.
Op drukke zomerdagen word daardoor de pasovergang wat ontsierd door geparkeerde wagens langs de kant van de weg!
Korte klim in magistraal natuurdecor!
