サングレゴーリオネルアルピの峠・トップ12

It can be reached via a comfortable but sometimes very steep road. Stunning views of the Piave Valley.

This section, which covers the eastern and western slopes of the Cereda Pass along the main road (SS347), is truly spectacular for its views. The climb to the Cereda Pass on the western slope is undoubtedly the toughest, with 7.9 km at an 8.2% gradient and several kilometers above 10%. Its final section, filled with twisters and alpine padrerias, is wonderful. The eastern slope from San Gosaldo has some very steep slopes but is much easier overall. However, if you consider the connection to the Forcella d'Aurine Pass, the climb becomes even more impressive.

It's a very steady climb and little known among cyclists approaching the Dolomites for the first time. However, it's a completely Dolomite climb, with typical landscapes and the advantage of being less difficult compared to other climbs. The eastern slope is the toughest, starting from the Val Agordina. It's 12.7 km with an average gradient of 5.4%, largely due to a 1 km break 3 km from the summit. If it weren't for this break, the gradient would be constant between 6 and 7%. This climb is closely linked to other climbs nearby: the Cereda Pass and the Forcella Franche Pass. The small valleys between these three climbs are perfect for finding quiet roads where you can discover idyllic places and routes to enjoy in the Bellunesi Dolomites.

Easily visible from afar thanks to a cross at the summit, Col di Luna is located at an altitude of 1,747 meters and can be reached via paths that climb through the beech forests. From the summit you have a splendid view of the Agordo Valley and peaks such as Civetta and Moiazza.

The legendary Passo Cervo!

nice walk

Curiosity: if you take a closer look at the Passo Cervo sign, it depicts a man with a scythe and not an ungulate, in homage to the Cervo family who kept the grassy hills of the area mowed
