볼타고 아고디노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪19‬개의 산길

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.

One of the toughest passes in the Dolomites. The numbers on this side are devastating: 12.1 km at an average gradient of 8.2% to overcome an elevation gain of 885 meters. The intermediate section of the pass has a 5 km stretch at an average gradient of 10%. Data provided by @cyclingcols.

the challenging climb to Passo Cereda

The Forcella Moschesin marks the border of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and offers a magnificent view of the Dolomites and the valleys below. The trails around the fork are pretty easy to run. Just up the fork are the remains of an old fort, part of a series of garrisons built in the early 20th century to protect against foreign invasion. It was part of the so-called Yellow Line which crossed the Val di Zoldo. Completed in 1913, the Battle of Caporetto led to the withdrawal to the Piave line, rendering it useless.

The Duran pass, located at an altitude of 1,605 meters, is located entirely in the province of Belluno, in Veneto. It connects the Agordina valley with the Zoldo valley. The Alta Via Number One of the Dolomites passes near the pass.

Passo Cereda, at an altitude of 1,369 metres, connects the Veneto valley of the Mis with the Trentino valley of Primiero. It takes its name from the Cereda torrent, which originates near the pass.

A pity that the pass is now so run down with the beautiful former "Jahrhundertwende" style hotel half demolished.
