Description
It was a day of contrasts, bright and sunny in the morning, deep clouds and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, perfect for mountain captures. We arrived at the Sella Pass in the Italian Dolomites to find a running road race was under way. There were crowds, ambulances, high winds, rain, sleet and snow. It was a miserable time for both runners and photographers, but the photography was fabulous. We are a hardy band of warriors out to get the photograph.
The Sella Pass, Passo Sella) (2218 m) is a high mountain pass, over 7,200 ft. between the provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol in Italy.
Located in the Italian Dolomites, the winding road to the summit, also known as Sellajoch, is paved, with sharp hairpin bends and steep drops. It’s called Strada Statale 242 road. The pass links the Val Gherdëina in South Tyrol and Canazei in the Fascia Valley in Trentino.
With Pordoi Pass, Gardena Pass, and Campolongo Pass, this pass forms a quadrangle around the Sella group. In the winter, ski trails are prepared that make the entire round in both directions, known as the Sella Ronda.
The pass has been featured in the Giro d’Italia. It’s one of the most famous passes in the Dolomites. The average percentage drop is 6.8 %. The maximum grade is 12.5% The views are stunning and each small village you go through is charming and lovely.
The road to the summit was opened on 26th of October 1856 and its construction dates back to 1843 with a hotel located near the peak of the road pass.
Also available in black and white.
