Passo Sella

Passo Sella is one of the most popular Alpine passes. The Sella connects Canazei, in Val di Fassa, with Selva di Val Gardena. From the pass, at an altitude of 2,240 metres, it is possible to admire one of the most beautiful views of the entire Dolomites.

Magnificent panorama of the region around Sella Joch.

Perhaps the most beautiful pass of all the Dolomites

Once or twice a year there is also the Sellarondabikeday. You can "enjoy" the whole thing without traffic. But all the more are on the road by bike.

The Sellajoch is one of the four passes on the Sella Ronda and at 2,244 meters the highest in the Dolomites. You have two options - depending on how you drive the loop: The south ramp is the more relaxed variant at almost twelve kilometers and around 750 meters in altitude. Coming from the west, 1,721 vertical meters spread over about 37 kilometers are much more demanding. If you turn the tables, a lot of downhill fun awaits you. ;)

Nice climb, great descent

Especially the climb from Canazei requires a lot of fitness. In addition, the busy traffic calls out the nerves. If that does not scare you, you'll enjoy the Sellajoch.

Dream pass with a dream panorama, what more could you want for a racing cyclist? :-)

The Sellajoch connects the Gardena Valley with the Fassa Valley. Coming from Val Gardena, a moderate ascent throughout, on the south side, the Fassa Valley, much steeper, therefore also much more winding. Magnificent view from the top of the pass with the Sella massif on the east side, the Sassolungo on the west and the Marmolada glacier on the south-east.

The Sella pass is one of the most popular destinations for cyclists from all over the world, as it has been climbed several times by the Giro d'Italia and represents one of the legendary passes to which the competitive events of the strongest cyclists of all ages are linked.

It is one of the four of the Sellaronda Bike Day event (also called "Giro del Gruppo del Sella" or "Tour of the four passes"), which involves climbing, in succession, the Campolongo, Gardena, Sella, Pordoi passes, starting from Arabba . You can also start the Sellaronda Bike Day from Corvara in Badia, Selva di Val Gardena or Canazei.

A must for every passport junkie

a must in South Tyrol

First pass on the Sella Ronda, if you drive from Selva counterclockwise.

Really awesome to ride in that area! Iconic climbs with ridable gradients!

Most fascinating climb of the Dolomites for me with impressing rocky mountains and snow until early summer. Panorama view from the top is mindblowing.

It's an amazing climb, long but super easy going. You can ride as fast as your legs allow and still be able to pedal when you get tired. I'm looking forward to going back again.

Passo Sella. What else do you need to know?

Beautiful step! It is worth conquering it just for the view it offers once you get to the top.

Better fewer cars in autumn

Climb with so much history, to try !!!!!
