Gardena Pass
Passo Gardena / Grödner Joch
A pass linking Val Gardena and Val Badia, running right alongside the northern face of the Sella Group, where you can see its enormous rock walls.
Gardena Pass sits at 2,121 m on the northern side of the Sella Group. Beside the road rise the vertical walls of the Sella peaks, like the battlements of a fortress. To the north you can see the jagged rock towers of the Cir group. The pass has a small chapel, a mountain hut and a car park. It is an essential stop on the self-drive 'Four Passes Loop', and it is the starting point for trails to Cir Hut, Lake Pisciadù and via ferrata climbing routes. In winter it is a connection point on the Sellaronda ski circuit. In summer SAD buses run between Ortisei and Corvara.
