Road Cycling Highlight
The Sellajoch is one of the four passes on the Sella Ronda and at 2,244 meters the highest of the Dolomites. You have two options - depending on how you drive the loop: The south ramp is the more relaxed option at 11.5 kilometers and around 750 meters in altitude. Coming from the west, 1,721 vertical meters spread over 36.5 kilometers are much more demanding. If you turn the tables, you can expect corresponding downhill fun. ;)

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 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.

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.

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 .

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

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

The Sella Pass is the most spectacular and the most demanding, the one that offers us the best view of the mountain range, also because it is beaten by the morning sun. In reality, the first six kilometers are on a shady and not very scenic road. Then, after turning left at the Sella / Pordoi junction, we begin to see the illuminated mountain. We face the most demanding climb of the Sellaronda and reach the highest point of the route.
Almost 800 meters of elevation gain on about 11 kilometers of ascent. Average gradient around 7%, maximum 11%. In the end we will not remember these data, but the breathtaking views, the blue sky that stands out above the gigantic rock towers and the sense of conquest we felt by reaching the pass with our strength, admired by the multitude of tourists who arrived by motorbike. or car. The descent towards the crossroads for Selva di Val Gardena is also spectacular and forces us to stop a couple of times to take some pictures.

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.
