A Dolomites pass beneath the sheer Sella massif.
The SS242 climbs from Canazei to the Sella Pass at 2,244 m, threading hairpins beneath the vertical walls of the Sella and Sassolungo, one of the great Dolomites roads. Watch for cyclists, motorbikes, and tour coaches on the tight bends, and snow into early summer.
