To say that this pass is spectacular is truly an understatement. From here the view is lost between rocky peaks and grassy slopes. The refuge of the same name is located on the Alpine pass.

Passo di San Nicolò – Extraordinary panoramic point in Val di Fassa, reachable by MTB on an alpine trail with technical passages and tight curves, cycleable for about 60%. Only the last stretch, on loose stones, is completely impassable and must be tackled by pushing. The view from the pass amply repays the effort. From the pass, a very fun descent towards the Contrin Refuge. Path shared with hikers: choosing wisely the times and periods of the year will avoid unpleasant misunderstandings.
