Sella Pass

Pass in the Dolomites, at an altitude of 2240 meters. Picturesque and popular place among tourists. The pass is best known for the pictures of the Langkofel massif (Sassolungo in Italian), which consists of three mountain peaks with unpronounceable German names: Grohmannspitze (Sasso Levante), Fuenffingerspitze (Punta delle Cinque Dita) and Langkofel (Sassolungo).




We visited the pass twice. First in the afternoon, when we walked a bit, sat in a restaurant and climbed on the unusual standing Telecabine Gondelbahn cable car to a height of 2685 meters.




Though nothing to do on the top.




Initially, we planned to spend the night at the pass (booking.com), but all rooms were booked and we spent the night in the town of Ortisei in the Val Gardena valley.

Early in the morning we arrived at the pass, parked N 46 30.518 E 11 46.003 and climbed on foot to this location N 46 30.539 E 11 46.337. On this day, low clouds hung over the Val Gardena Valley and this created one of the most beautiful landscapes we have ever seen.








Photos from the drone are even more fabulous.








Getting there: parking near the cable cars and restaurant N 46 30.553 E 11 45.455, second parking N 46 30.518 E 11 46.002.
