Tour tip

Several less well-known passes of the Dolomites, which are well worth a visit, are lined up one after the other on this tour: Passo Brocon, Passo della Gobbera, Passo Rolle and, as a highlight, the Manghen Pass.

On sometimes fairytale-like asphalt, the route presents little difficulties for experienced drivers. The narrow route in connection with the serpentines on the Manghen Pass and partly on the Brocon requires concentration.

Route length: 176 kilometers Travel time: approx. 4 hours without breaks, with refreshments and overnight stays (south side of Passo Manghen) 1 day.
