A unique experience
The road that connects Canazei to Selva di Val Gardena it is a real spectacle, especially when driving early in the morning between the peaks of the The Dolomites. It was once a real challenge ground for sportier motorcyclists, but the increasing traffic and the need for greater road safety have forced local authorities to to be vigilant more and more on compliance with the Traffic Laws.
In summer, you must also pay close attention to the numerous cyclists, pedestrians, buses, which crowd the road. Better to go out of season or early in the morning or before sunset, a true spectacle of colors and lights on the Dolomite peaks.
Those who want to take a break can take the Sassolungo cable car and admire the spectacle of the valley from above together with the surrounding peaks, such as the Sella Towers.
