Passo Rolle – Ski holidays without end
If you want to reach the village on circa 2000 m above
sea level, you have to vanquish a winding mountain road with
several narrow hairpin bends. But all lovers of the winter,
passionate skiers and cross-country skiers will surely get their
reward, because the winter appears here at its best - and takes
much time.
APT San Martino di Castrozza - Passo Rolle -
VanoiThe mountain pass Passo Rolle connects San Martino
with the other valleys in the Dolomites. Therefore
the pristine village is located next to one of the oldest routes
across the Dolomites. In the middle Ages this road was an important
trade lane, mainly to Venice. During World War I there was a
necessary line of communication across Passo Rolle
to the front.
The skiing region San Martino di Castrozza -
Passo Rolle is only a stone's throw from here. Its
position in the Dolomites is unique: It is located in the
southernmost part of the popular ski carrousel Dolomiti
Superski, where the sun shines very often and where rarely
too cold for skiers or cross-country skiers. And the winter season
in Passo Rolle lasts not less than 5 month.
But you should make a detour to Passo Rolle not just during the
cold season. In the summer month you can undertake many hikes,
climbing or bike tours, starting directly on the mountain pass.
