Panoramic Tour in the Heart of the Dolomites
During the summer period, one can enjoy the splendor of the Dolomites by traversing the valleys of the Sella Ronda slopes, with the tour of the passes on the historic SR48 Dolomites Road.
A tour that skirts the peaks of the Tofane, the 5 Torri, the Passo Falzarego with Lagazuoi, the Passo Pordoi with the Dolomites terrace up to brushing all the most admired mountain groups of the area such as Sella and Sassolungo, reaching the mirror of Lake Carezza and Rosengarten to then return through the Passo Gardena and Valparola. This road also retraces the memory of the battles of the First World War and is chosen every year to host the famous Coppa d’oro delle Dolomiti of vintage cars.
