We climbed from Pocol and not all the way from Cortina and after the exhaustion of having climbed the passo Giau. The climb has therefore been a bit of recovery climb, It passes through a lovey valley with pine forests, has a manageable gradient and offers good views of the stunning mountains of Cortina. Easy continuation to Valparola where the scenery changes to a bit of a moon scape. Overall a steady and pleasant pass road.
Epic climb, not so much because of the gradients or difficulties, however present, but because of the environment in which you are immersed and the cycling history of the places you pass through. Second half decidedly more tiring than the first, no water on the route, but at least for the most part shaded.
Salita epica, non tanto per le pendenze o difficoltà comunque presenti, ma per l'ambiente nel quale si è immersi e la storia ciclistica dei luoghi che si attraversano. Seconda metà decisamente più faticosa della prima, nessuna presenza di acqua sul percorso, ma almeno per buona parte ombreggiato.
Grand because of the views of the perpendicular cliffs and the ruggedness around you. Obviously a super short stretch from the Falzarego, but we'll take these two climbs together for a moment: doable from Cortina but challenging because of its length. Fully recommended.
Groots door het uitzicht op de loodrechte rotswanden en het ruige om je heen. Uiteraard een superklein stukje vanaf de Falzarego, maar we nemen deze twee beklimmingen even samen: vanuit Cortina prima te doen maar uitdagend door zijn lengte. Alleszins aan te bevelen.
Little to add to the review below.
Describes the climb perfectly, only I don't like the climb from Cortina. But what I wanted to add is that the view from the top of Valparola is beautiful. You just have to stand on top of it. So if you do the Falzarego from Cortina, don't descend directly to Arabba, but enjoy the beauty of the Valparola.
Not convinced? I will add some pictures!
Weinig toe te voegen aan de review van hieronder.
Beschrijft perfect hoe de klim is, alleen vind ik de klim vanuit Cortina niet zo mooi. Maar wat ik wilde toevoegen is dat het uitzicht op de top van Valparola prachtig mooi is. Je moet hier gewoon eens boven staan. Dus als je de Falzarego doet vanuit Cortina, daal dan niet direct af naar Arabba, maar geniet van de schoonheid van de Valparola.
Niet overtuigd? Zal wat fotootjes toevoegen!
Passo Valparola is on this side a little extra of about 1.2 km and 100 altimeters that you can cycle after the beautiful long not too difficult climb of the Passo Falzarego from Cortina d'Ampezzo (see Climfinder).
Two passes are connected by a steeply rising straight road with gentle curves between the peaks of the Lagazuoi (2752m) and Sas De Stria (2477m) where the wind has free play and can blow right on top.
The sign for the pass height stands alone amidst the natural beauty at the side of the road but a little further cycling brings you to a World War I fortress with museum, then to a small mountain lake and slightly descending to a mountain hut (supply). In the touristy busy summer months there was even a living soldier on guard who greeted tourists and looked at mountain bikers with amazement.
A second second hike on your cycling list with not too much extra effort after the beautiful climb of the Passo Falzarego.
Passo Valparola is langs deze zijde een klein extraatje van ongeveer 1,2 kilometer en 100 hoogtemeters dat je kan bij fietsen na de mooie lange niet te zware klim van de Passo Falzarego vanuit Cortina d'Ampezzo (zie Climfinder).
Twee passen zijn verbonden door een stevig stijgende rechte weg met flauwe bochten tussen de toppen van de Lagazuoi (2752m) en Sas De Stria (2477m) waar de wind vrij spel heeft en pal op kop kan blazen.
Bord van de pashoogte staat te midden van de natuurpracht eenzaam langs de wegkant maar even verder fietsen brengt je bij een Wereldoorlog I fort met museum , vervolgens bij een klein bergmeertje en licht afdalend tot een berghut(bevoorrading). In de toeristisch drukke zomermaanden stond er zowaar een levende soldaat op wacht die toeristen begroet en bergfietsers met verbazing aankeek.
Een tweede tweeduizender op je fietslijstje met niet te veel extra inspanning na de prachtige beklimming van de Passo Falzarego.
