Passo Valparola
SP24Livinallongo del Col di Lana to Cortina d’Ampezzo
A quiet, beautiful Dolomites pass beneath the Lagazuoi.
The SP24 over the Passo Valparola at 2,168 m links San Cassiano and the Falzarego beneath the sheer walls of the Lagazuoi, a quieter, breathtaking Dolomites pass past a still tarn and the old Great War front line. Flowing but high; mind the cyclists, the coaches at the top, and snow outside summer.
