Passo Sella (2,244 m) links Val Gardena with Val di Fassa, squeezed between the Sella Group and the huge Sassolungo massif. The view from the top ranks among the most photographed in the Alps.
It's the start of plenty of hikes, including the classic loop around the Sassolungo, and a stage on the Sellaronda. In peak season the road is restricted on certain days.
Cyclists and motorcyclists love the climb up here as part of the well-known "four-passes loop". From the top, the Sass Pordoi cable car and the chairlift towards Rifugio Friedrich August give you sweeping views in minutes, from the Sassolungo all the way to the Marmolada.
