ラヴァッレ-ウェンゲン-ラヴァッレの峠・トップ20

Mountain hotel near the pass.

great little pass

The pass is beautifully nestled between the rolling meadows of Lüsen to the north and the Pütia meadows with the steep walls of the eponymous mountain (Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel) to the south. From here, you have access to one of South Tyrol's most precious natural landscapes:

The roads to the Passo delle Erbe are a joy to ride from both Villnöß and Lüsen. They are generally quiet (especially from Lüsen) and generally have a good surface for a fast descent. From the Passo delle Erbe, you have beautiful views of the Peiterkofel and the Italian Dolomites. There are also plenty of opportunities to refill your water bottles and provisions up here. If you're planning a loop, I recommend not choosing the descent via Lüsen, as the asphalt is poorer there and, even in dry weather, is often wet with small streams. The route also often crosses wooden bridges, which overall diminishes the enjoyment of a fast road bike descent. However, this isn't a problem on the ascent.

A wonderful view to the southeast

Arrival in the rain, departure in the sun

The Furcia pass, located at an altitude of 1,759 metres, connects the Pusteria valley with the Badia valley. The two valleys are very different from each other: the language also changes, as it changes from the German of the Pusteria valley to the Ladin of the Badia valley. From the pass it is possible to make magnificent excursions that lead to Plan de Corones.

Four great benches here for rest and snacks.
