How to get there From the east one starts the climb in Corvara in Badia (1522m), but could climbed without interruption from St. Lorenzen/S. Lorenzo di Sebato (808m). One could also start between these places (if coming from Furkelpass) in Zwischenwasser/Longega (1005m). The climb is never steeper than 10%. From the west it is only a short way up from the Passo Sella road at Plan de Gralba/Kreuzboden (1871m), where one passes another pass, Kulatsch Sattel/Sella del Culaç (2018m), on the way. From further down St. Ulrich/Ortisei (1234m) or still further down from Klausen/Chiusa (524m) or Waidbruck/Ponte Gardena (470m) – it is a very hard climb, but never very steep.
Other comments Perhaps this is the second most wonderful pass on the Sella ring after the Passo Sella. There is a bar on the top and plenty of restaurants and accomodation in every direction. All the passes in the Sella ring are usually used by the Maratona dles Dolomites.
