Ridden in July of 2024. A nice even gradiant and hairpins all the way. Most of the climb though is in a forest, so not many views, but you can always sense the Sella-Massif above everything. Unfortunatly it's a rather busy road. When you near the top, the forest goes away and you can enjoy the views, because they are here. From the top there is a beautiful downhill to Arabba.
Started the Sellaronda with this climb in September 2025. Very fun climb with a constant gradient. The scenery in the last part of the climb is spectacular. Did this on Sellaronda Bike Day, so there was zero traffic. Highly recommend!
1.17 first climb in Dolomites mostly 7-8 some easier segment 5-6 Nice view leads in and out
Iconic climb, breathtaking views and an air of myths and legends. Long but steady ascent, never prohibitive gradients, just a lot of fun
Salita iconica, viste mozzafiato e aria di miti e leggende. Salita lunga ma costante, mai pendenze proibitive, ma solo tanto divertimento
8/10 If you 'm riding all the way from Canazei, it's still quite a long climb. I was glad to leave the hustle and bustle of Canazei behind me a bit. With some nice hairpins you climb steadily up. At Laghetto Lupo Bianco it is a bit busier but fortunately it is easy to get past, after which it is a fairly constant climb to higher altitude. You ride almost the entire climb in a wooded area, until the last. Then you have more views, which are magnificent! At the top, a stunning descent to Arabba awaits you. Also definitely recommended as a climb :)
8/10 Als je 'm helemaal vanuit Canazei rijdt is het toch best een lange klim. Ik was blij dat ik de drukte van Canazei wat achter me kon laten. Met een aantal leuke haarspelden klim je gestaag omhoog. Bij Laghetto Lupo Bianco is het wat drukker maar daar fiets je gelukkig zo voorbij, daarna is het nog vrij constant klimmen naar grotere hoogte. Je rijdt bijna de hele klim in een bosrijke omgeving, tot op het laatste. Dan heb je meer uitzicht en dat is schitterend! Boven wacht een schitterende afdaling naar Arabba op je. Ook zeker aan te raden als beklimming :)
For me Sella Ronda ride, this was the last climb. After descending the Sella pass, kept left at the junction. I didn't do the whole climb from Canasei. The first km are in the forest. The asphalt is moderate in places. Once out of the forest, the tarmac and the views get better and more beautiful. The hairpin bends follow each other in rapid succession to finally arrive at the summit. At the summit, a photo at Coppi's monument is mandatory! And be sure to take in the scenery too, stunning! In summer, the summit is very crowded.
Voor mij Sella Ronda rit, was dit de laatste klim. Na de afdaling van de Sella pas op de kruising links aangehouden. Ik heb niet de hele klim vanuit Canasei gedaan. De eerste km zijn in het bos. Het asfalt is op sommige plaatsen matig. Eenmaal uit het bos wordt het asfalt en de uitzichten beter en mooier. De haarspeldbochten volgen elkaar in hoog tempo op om uiteindelijk op de top aan te komen. Op de top is een foto bij het monument van Coppi verplichte kost! En neem zeker ook de omgeving in ogenschouw, schitterend! In de zomer is de top erg druk.
I did this climb on Friday 27 June at 8:30am. In terms of views and intensity, this climb is really great and absolutely worth doing. However, I find the traffic (especially many motorbikes) and road surface less so. Views and intensity (5/5). Road surface and traffic density (3/5).
Ik heb deze klim op vrijdag 27 juni om 8:30 gedaan. Qua uitzicht en intensiteit is deze klim echt geweldig en absoluut het doen waard. Echter vind ik de verkeersdrukte (vooral veel motoren) en wegdek minder. Uitzicht en intensiteit (5/5). Wegdek en verkeersdrukte (3/5).
Climb made during the Sellaronda bike day. Done starting from Canazei, it is the first climb. The climb in itself is already spectacular, beautiful to tackle. The history written on this climb makes it unique. Very good asphalt. breathtaking views.
Salita fatta durante il sellaronda bike day. Fatta partendo da Canazei è la prima salita. La salita di per sè è già spettacolare, bellissima da affrontare. La storia scritta su questa salita la rende poi unica. Asfalto molto buono. panorami mozzafiato.
Since this pass is usually open even in winter, I 'm climbed it in March. Despite the snow, the road is kept well clear of snow. Due to weather effects, the road surface can be bad here and there. In itself, the views are nicer on the other side of the pass (from Arabba), but the side from Canazei is known as the Passo Pordoi climb. The first 6 kilometres are similar to the ascent of the Sella Pass. After 6 kilometres you turn right and continue your way to the Pordoi Pass. The last 2 kilometres are beautiful with lots of hairpin turns and great views of the Sas Podoimassisef, where you can take a big gondola for a spectacular panorama. Once at the top of the pass, you should of course stop at the Coppi monument on your left.
Omdat deze pas ook in de winter doorgaans open is, heb ik 'm in maart beklommen. Ondanks de sneeuw wordt de weg goed sneeuwvrij gehouden. Door weersinwerking kan het wegdek hier en daar wel slecht zijn. Op zich zijn de uitzichten aan de andere zijde van de pas (vanuit Arabba) mooier, maar de zijde vanuit Canazei staat bekend als de Passo Pordoi beklimming. De eerste 6 kilometer zijn gelijk aan de opgang van de Sellapas. Na 6 kilometer buig je rechtsaf en vervolg je je weg naar de Pordoipas. De laatste 2 kilometers zijn prachtig met veel haarspeldbochten en een mooi uitzicht op het Sas Podoimassisef, waar je met een grote gondel naartoe kunt voor een spectaculair panorama. Eenmaal bovenop de pas moet je uiteraard even stoppen bij het Coppi-monument aan je linkerhand.
Done as the first ascent at the Sellaronda bike festival in September 2024. Starting in Canazei, the first 7/8 km are in the woods before coming out at the end in full view of the Sella massif and Piz Boe... Nice climb with a constant gradient that manages to give regularity to the ascent.
Fatta come prima salita al Sellaronda bike festival di settembre 2024. Partendo da Canazei i primi 7/8 km sono nel bosco per poi uscire nel finale in piena vista sul massiccio del Sella e sul Piz Boe... Bella salita a pendenza costante che riesce a dare regolarità alla scalata.
Done as part of the SellaRondaBikeDay 7/9/2024 anticlockwise. If you arrive from Arabba, on this fourth pass, fatigue begins to set in. Here, too, the panorama makes you forget the fatigue. If one climbs from Canazei, one must calculate about three hundred metres more altitude difference than on the Sellaronda tour.
Fatto nell'ambito del SellaRondaBikeDay 7/9/2024 in senso antiorario. Se si arriva da Arabba, in questo quarto passo la fatica comincia a farsi sentire. Anche in questo caso il panorama fa dimenticare la fatica. Se si sale da Canazei, occorre calcolare circa trecento metri di dislivello in più rispetto al giro del Sellaronda.
The first 9 kilometres are in a wlad, the last 2 with views of the mountain massif. Generally a wonderful road with lots of hairpins and very constant percentages, so that you can actually always ride at the same speed.
Outside of the Sella Ronda Bikeday, you can expect a lot of traffic.
Die ersten 9 Kilometer sind in einem Wlad, die letzten 2 mit Blicken auf das Bergmassiv. Allgemein eine wunderbare Straße mit vielen Haarnadeln und sehr konstanten Prozenten, so dass man eigentlich immer das gleiche Tempo fahren kann.
Außerhalb des Sella Ronda Bikedays ist sehr viel Verkehr zu erwarten.
Did this climb twice last year, one as part of a Sellaronda route and another one as the first climb before venturing to the Passo Sella.
It's a very pleasant climb from Canazei, with nice switchbacks at the start in the forest section. After the intersection with the road to the Passo Sella, the trees gradually give way to fantastic dolomitic panoramas all around you.

A historic climb. I only made it from the crossroads to the Sella. It starts with a somewhat damaged tarmac, then improves. The gradient is constant and the views beautiful. The forest helps to keep cool even on summer days. At the summit it is all too touristy, but the monument to Fausto Coppi arouses great emotion.
Una salita storica. L' ho fatta solo dall' incrocio per il Sella. Inizia con un asfalto un po' danneggiato, poi migliora. La pendenza é costante e il panorama bellissimo. Il bosco aiuta a restare al fresco anche nelle giornate estive. In cima é fin troppo turistico, ma il monumento a Fausto Coppi suscita grande emozione.
A rather long but not very hard climb, it climbs steadily along the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites, and you will forget your fatigue by looking at the panorama. The road surface is excellent and the descent is very satisfying.
Salita piuttosto lunga ma non durissima, sale costante lungo i paesaggi spettacolari delle dolomiti, vi dimenticherete della fatica guardando il panorama. Il manto stradale è ottimo e la discesa regala molta soddisfazione.
Cycled up the Pordoi about 20 times already . Indeed the side from Canazei is the smoothest . From Arabba , however they climb it during the Dolomites Marathon also nice but a bit spicier . The scenery is of course impressive . The climb is also imported on my Garmin connect indoor trainer . And also cycle it 's winter on my Elite suito trainer.
De Pordoi al een 20 tal keer naar boven gefietst . Inderdaad de kant vanuit Canazei is de gelijkmatigste . Vanuit Arabba ,hoe ze hem ook beklimmen tijdens de Dolomieten Marathon ook mooie maar ietsje pittiger . Het landschap is natuurlijk indrukwekkend. De beklimming staat ook geïmporteerd op mijn Garmin connect indoortrainer. En fiets hem ook 's winters op op mijn Elite suito trainer.
A difficult but beautiful road. Very inconvenient due to a cloud of motorbikes riding dangerously and without imagination. Start in the forest, shared with the road to Passo Sella. The final phase is full of beautiful views.
Trudna lecz piękna droga. Bardzo uciążliwa z powodu chmary motocykli jeżdżących niebezpiecznie i bez wyobraźni. Początek w lesie, wspólny z drogą na Passo Sella. W końcowej fazie pełno pięknych widoków.
Beautiful, not too difficult climb with even gradients. Done after climbing the "Passo Fedaia"from Caprile which by comparison is a monstrous climb.
Prachtige, niet al te moeilijke klim met gelijkmatige stijgingspercentages. Gedaan na de beklimming van de "Passo Fedaia"vanuit Caprile dewelke ter vergelijking een monsterlijke klim is.
A wonderful, steady climb with great views of the Dolomites. It goes uphill right away at about 8％. Many Ferarris and sports cars driving the Sella Ronda here, but all in all very nice.
Ein wunderbarer, gleichmäßger Aufstieg mit tollen Dolomiten-Aussichten. Es geht steig gleich bei ca. 8％ bergauf. Viele Ferarris und Sportwagen, die hier die Sella-Ronda fahren, aber alles in allem sehr schön.
A nice, steady climb that is never particularly steep, to be done regularly even in summer because it is mostly in the shade of the forest. Magnificent view of the Dolomites once you reach the top! Busy at weekends, recommended on weekdays.
Bella salita costante e mai particolarmente ripida, da fare con regolarità anche d estate perché per buona parte in mezzo al l ombra del bosco. Magnifica la vista sulle dolomiti una volta arrivati in cima!. Trafficato nel weekend, consigliato nei giorni feriali.
Sometimes it is nice to climb a few kilometres in the forest. A bit of shade and the view at the end is all the more surprising. Without having climbed the Pordoi on the other side, you understand why they call this side the easy side. The top is a bit crowded with buildings, but if you walk to the cable car toilets, you can brush up on your historical knowledge with information about a woman who was involved in the pass a century ago. The view at the end of the climb makes it worthwhile. In the descent, I could see that the difficult side must be very spectacular. That one is going on the bucket list!
Soms is het ook wel eens lekker om een paar kilometer in het bos te klimmen. Een beetje schaduw én het uitzicht aan het einde is des te verrassender. Zonder de Pordoi aan de andere zijde te hebben beklommen, snap je wel waarom ze deze zijde de makkelijke zijde noemen. De top is wat druk met gebouwen, maar als je naar de toiletten van de kabelbaan loopt kun je je historische kennis nog wat oppoetsen met informatie over een vrouw een eeuw geleden lang betrokken was bij de pas. Het uitzicht aan het einde van de klim, maakt deze zeker de moeite waard. In de afdaling kon ik wel zien dat de moeilijke kant heel spectaculair moet zijn. Die gaat op de bucketlist!
The 'lesser'side of the Pordoi, but also worthwhile. You cycle most of the time in the forest, but if you then come above the tree line, it is really enjoying. Nowhere really steep
De 'mindere' kant van de Pordoi, maar zeker ook de moeite waard. Je fietst het grootste deel in het bos, maar als je dan boven de boomgrens uitkomt is het wel echt genieten geblazen. Nergens echt steil
The slightly lesser known side of the Pordoi, but almost as nice to climb. Again, a smooth climb with long stretches of 7-8％ and flattening turns. The big difference with the climb from Arabba is the forest during most of the climb, which means more shade and less views.
Perfect to combine with the ascent of the east face of the Fedaia.
De iets minder bekende kant van de Pordoi, maar bijna net zo mooi om te beklimmen. Ook hier een goedlopende klim met lange stukken 7-8％ en afvlakkende bochten. Groot verschil met de beklimming vanuit Arabba is de bebossing gedurende het grootste deel van de klim, waardoor er meer schaduw en minder uitzicht is.
Perfect te combineren met de beklimming van de oostkant van de Fedaia.
In 2017 did the Pordoi from Arabba; like cycling in an arena. Now from Canazei with a departure from Predazzo; ergo 40 kilometres uphill before you reach the top!
Also this side is beautiful and leaves together with the climb to the Passo Sella. He "runs" nice and it is nowhere really steep. The views remain phenomenal and once at the top you can enjoy the huge rocks around you.
In 2017 de Pordoi vanuit Arabba gedaan; alsof je in een arena fietst. Nu vanaf Canazei met een vertrek vanuit Predazzo; ergo 40 kilometer bergop voordat je op de top bent!
Ook deze kant is mooi en gaat vertrekt samen met de klim naar de Passo Sella. Hij "loopt" lekker en het wordt nergens echt steil. De uitzichten blijven fenomenaal en eenmaal boven is het genieten van de enorme rotspartijen om je heen.
Pordoï pass already climbed twice and especially remembered as the first climb of the famous Sella ronda (counter clockwise).
If you start this classic tour down in the tourist Canazei you "full " Passo Pordoï that incidentally until hairpin bend 14 is parallel with the Sella climb. After the junction you pass between the pines, at the height of the solitary beautifully situated Sporthotel Bellavista, the cable car station of Pecol.
The whole climb has good tarmac and is a steady uphill without extremes with to the end 8 short hairpin bends that bring you above the tree line with panoramic views of the Sella and Marmolada massif.
Summit is very touristy and motley collection of cafes, hotels, parking lots, souvenir shops, and large cable car station.
The bronze memorial plaque to Fausto Coppi and the racing bike monument to Gilberto Simoni emphasize the importance of this climb in the Giro d'Italia.
In summer there can be very busy traffic with especially annoying coaches both up and down. Sella lap is also an excursion topper by bus. Early start is the message!
At another starting point of the Sella Ronda you come down from the Passo Sella to the left the last 7 km of the climb to pick.
Beautiful "easy"climbing side to the top which was the roof (Cima Coppi) of the Tour of Italy several times!
Pordoïpas reeds tweemaal beklommen en vooral bijgebleven als eerste klim van de bekende Sella ronda (tegenwijzerszin).
Als je deze rondrit klassieker beneden start in het toeristische Canazei fiets je de "volledige" Passo Pordoï die trouwens tot haarspeldbocht 14 gelijklopend is met de Sellaklim. Na de splitsing passeer je tussen de dennebomen, ter hoogte van het eenzaam prachtig gelegen Sporthotel Bellavista, het kabelbaanstation van Pecol.
Heel de klim heeft prima asfalt en is gelijklopend bergop zonder extremen met naar het einde toe 8 kort op elkaar volgende haarspeldbochten die je boven de boomgrens brengen met panoramische uitzichten op het Sella- en Marmoladamassief.
Top is erg toeristisch en bonte verzameling van cafés, hotels, parkings, souvenirshops, en groot kabelbaanstation.
De bronzen gedenkplaat voor Fausto Coppi en het koersfietsmonument voor Gilberto Simoni benadrukken het belang van deze klim in de Giro d'Italia.
Zomers kan er erg druk verkeer zijn met vooral hinderlijke autocars zowel bergop als af. Sella ronde is ook een excursie topper per bus. Vroeg starten is de boodschap!
Bij een ander startplaats van de Sella Ronda kom je dalend van de Passo Sella om links de laatste 7 km van de klim mee te pikken.
Mooie "gemakkelijke" klimzijde naar de top die meermaals het dak (Cima Coppi) van de Ronde van Italië was!
