Unfortunatly there is many cars on the road too. There is a two Km part where it's flat and fast. The closer you get to the top, the more the view opens, and you can look up to the right, on a big mountainside. It's a nice climb, not much bad outside the traffic.... read more

A popular climb among cyclists. Steady gradient and beautiful views. The surface is ideal and traffic is moderate.
Popularny wśród rowerzystów podjazd. Stałe nachylenie i piękne widoki. Nawierzchnia idealna, a ruch samochodowy umiarkowany.

overweight undertrained amateur here. Done this in August, started at around 7.30 in Cortina and arrived at the top around 9.10. The climb is uneven in the first part with short portions over 9％ and then back to around 5. It seems more regular in the second part. In between there's some kilometers where you can rest a bit.
Even early in the morning and on a Monday there was some traffic, i think it's much worse later in the day.
The views are very nice, the tarmac is good.
7/10 Ridden this one after the Giau, so did not cycle the full climb. In terms of percentages, I can't say I found this one as stable as the profile suggests. It also felt heavier, although I think that was mainly because of the Giau. I did find it quite crowded (high season). All in all, a fun climb but not super!
7/10 Deze gereden na de Giau, dus niet de volledige klim gefietst. Qua percentages kan ik niet zeggen dat ik deze zo stabiel vond als het profiel doet vermoeden. Hij voelde ook zwaarder, al kwam dat vooral door de Giau denk ik. Ik vond het wel vrij druk (hoogseizoen). Al met al een leuke beklimming maar niet super!
Truly a magnificent climb. The start still starts among the trees, but after halfway, the beautiful Dolomites do get really close. Pure enjoyment!
Echt een schitterende klim. Het begin begint nog tussen de bomen, maar na de helft komen de mooie Dolomieten wel echt heel dichtbij. Puur genieten!
Long and not particularly treacherous... but to be calibrated and dosed well!
Lunga e non particolarmente insidiosa… ma da calibrare e dosare bene le energie!
Continuous ascent except for the middle section where you go fast. Some short climbs make it more interesting. The best and most exciting part is cycling in front of the Tofane Dolomite giants on roads that are on the whole beautiful and well maintained.
Salita continua tranne il tratto intermedio dove si va via veloci. Alcuni brevi strappi la rendono più interessante. Il lato migliore e più emozionante è pedalare di fronte ai colossi dolomitici delle Tofane su strade nel complesso belle e ben tenute.
Nicer towards the summit and challenging due to its length. Be sure to ride that extra bit to the Valparola at the top, which is even more beautiful.
Fraaier richting de top en uitdagend door zijn lengte. Rijd zeker bovenaan even dat extra stukje naar de Valparola, qua top nóg fraaier.
After having done the Falzarego from Caprile the day before, I thought this side was not so bad. It is comparable in terms of steepness, but clearly shorter in terms of kilometres. The section between kilometres 8 and 10 went by quickly, here it pays to ride with or in a group. The last few kilometres are the toughest, but still very steady so that you can ride up pleasantly.
Na de dag daarvoor de Falzarego vanuit Caprile te hebben gedaan vond ik deze kant behoorlijk meevallen. Hij is qua steilte vergelijkbaar, maar qua kilometers duidelijk korter. Het stuk tussen kilometer 8 en 10 ging ook snel voorbij, hier loont het om met of in een groepje te rijden. De laatste kilometers zijn het zwaarst, maar nog steeds erg regelmatig waardoor je prettig omhoog rijdt.
Beautiful long not too difficult climb on good wide road, cycled from Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Start after the bridge over the Torrente Boite River in the center, to a 1st hairpin turn in the hamlet of Ronco winding out of the valley of Cortina with beautiful panoramic views of the city.
Both before and after Pocol (exit of Passo Giau) there is a series of hairpin bends. The middle part is ideal for recuperation because it is "fairly flat" with fairly straight stretches of road. On the right you pass the impressive vertical walls of the Tofana massif and on the left you can see in the distance the famous Cinque Torri peaks.
A final series of hairpin bends precedes the summit, which is an intersection of three access roads amidst Dolomite peaks and equipped with the necessary catering facilities, parking lots and the Langazuoi cable car. Due to its strategic location, Passe Height was the scene of artillery and trench warfare in the First World War.
Along the way there are signs every kilometer with the distance to the top and during the day heavy traffic.
Of course you cycle an extra 1,200 km / 100 altimeters to the Passo Valparola (see climbfinder).
Two summits for the effort of one !
Mooie lange niet te zware klim op goed breed wegdek op gefietst vanuit fietsknooppunt Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Start na de brug over de Torrente Boite rivier in het centrum, om via een 1 ste haarspeldbocht in het gehucht Ronco kronkelend het dal van Cortina uit te fietsen met prachtige panoramische zichten op de stad.
Zowel voor als na Pocol (afslag Passo Giau) volgen een reeks haarspeldbochten. Middendeel is geknipt voor wat recuperatie want het is "redelijk vlak" met vrij rechte stroken weg. Je fietst rechts de imposante loodrechte wanden van het Tofana massief voorbij en ziet links in de verte de beroemde Cinque Torri pieken.
Een laatste reeks haarspeldbochten gaat de top vooraf die een kruispunt is van drie toegangswegen te midden van Dolomietentoppen en voorzien is van de nodige horeca,parkings en de Langazuoi kabellift. Pashoogte was door zijn strategische ligging in de Eerste Wereldoorlog strijdtoneel van een artillerie- en loopgravenoorlog
Onderweg zijn er elke kilometer bordjes met de afstand tot de top en overdag druk verkeer.
Uiteraard fiets je nog even 1,200 km/ 100 hoogtemeters extra door naar de Passo Valparola (zie climbfinder).
Twee toppen voor de inspanning van één !
