Passo Pordoi (Canazei)

Passo Pordoi (2239 m) is one of the most renowned and popular of the Dolomites climbs. Starting from Canazei, it is 12 km long with an altitude gain of 800m, but is not too challenging, having an average slope of just over 6%.
The first 5 km are shared with the approach to Passo Sella (2244 m), and then continues to wind up through the woods up to Pecol (1926 m), from where a cable car ascends to the Belvedere. The forest slowly gives way to alpine meadows from which you can see your goal of the Passo Pordoi, where another cable car ascends to Pordoi itself. The landscape here is beautiful, dominated by Pordoi on the left, the Sass BECE and further off, the Sassolungo on the right. Straight ahead in the distance is the Livinallongo valley, which you descend to, ultimately finishing your ride in the quaint village of Pieve.
