Sella Pass
Passo Sella / Sellajoch
A high mountain pass between Sassolungo and the Sella group, and the best spot for driving up close to Sassolungo’s rock walls.
Sella Pass sits at 2,244 meters and connects Val Gardena with Val di Fassa. It is one of the “Four Passes Loop” (Sellaronda). The pass faces the massive rock walls of the Sassolungo group, and on the other side are the layered terraces of the Sella group. You can park by the roadside to take in the view, and in the evening the rock walls are tinted orange-red. This is also the starting point for the Sassolungo loop hike and the cable car to the Sassolungo saddle. In winter it is a key stretch of the Sellaronda ski circuit. Traffic is heavy on summer weekends, and you can take the SAD bus from Ortisei or Canazei.
