The Italian side of the Nassfeldpass, a steep, demanding 1530 m climb from Pontebba up through tight hairpins to the Austrian border in the Carnic Alps.

From Pontebba in the Valcanale the SP110 attacks the 1530 m Passo di Pramollo, the Nassfeldpass on the Austrian frontier, with very nice tarmac, a wall of tight hairpins and ramps reaching toward 14 percent. It is one of the most demanding climbs in Friuli, twisting up through the Carnic Alps to the ski-station saddle that straddles the border into Carinthia. Quieter and rawer than the Dolomite passes, and a real treat on the Italian flank. Mind the very steep narrow ramps with limited barriers, summer day-tripper traffic to the resort, and a road surface that deteriorates after winter.
