Sass de Pordoi - Rifugio Forcella Pordoi

Access to the starting point:
First, drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo (you can get here via Border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then take the motorway towards Udine to the Tolmezzo exit. From Tolmezzo, follow the road towards Ampezzo and the Passo della Mauria mountain pass. The road then descends and leads to a crossroads where you turn left (possibly right) towards Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all subsequent junctions, follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo.

In Cortina d'Ampezzo, follow the signs for the Passo di Falzarego Alpine pass. At this pass, you reach a crossroads where you follow the road on the left towards Marmolada and the village of Arabba (Alta Badia on the right). The road descends for some time before reaching a crossroads where you continue on the right towards Passo Pordoi (Marmolada on the left). Follow the road, which is relatively wide and ascending, all the way to the pass, where you park in a large parking lot. Then buy a lift ticket to take you to your starting point at 2950 m.

Access from Primorska: Take the motorway towards Padua, but only as far as the motorway junction, where you continue towards Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the motorway ends and we follow the road towards Belluno, where at a major junction we turn right towards Agordo. From there, follow the signs for Arabba and the Passo Pordoi Alpine pass, which is the starting point of our tour. We then buy a lift ticket to take us to our starting point at 2950 m.
