ヴァルマレーノとヴァルベッルナを結ぶサン・ボルド峠は、ヴェネト前プレアルプスの最も壮観な峠の一つです。100日間の道」として知られ、第一次世界大戦中の兵站目的で、1918年にオーストリア＝ハンガリー帝国の軍事工兵隊によって記録的な速さで建設されました。 その建築的な独自性は、岩盤に完全に掘り込まれ、信号機によって制御されている5つのヘアピンカーブにあり、限られたスペースで非常に急な高低差を克服しています。

Fabrizio, this warning sign made me laugh so much that I couldn't help but stop (on the way up) and take a picture of it because it's so funny to me...

Nice sign that says drunk people are allowed to cross the street.

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.

After leaving the beautiful Lake Mis behind, the gorge narrows and the road gains a little height, passing through successive galleries and tunnels dug directly into the rock. It's a wonderful place that rivals the Sottoguda Gorge on the climb to Marmolada.

It's an exceptional gateway to the Dolomites, with calm, crystal-clear waters nestled between the mountains. A wonderful place with hardly any traffic.
