Sella Pass, Dolomites, Italy

Sella Pass, Dolomites, Italy

The prettiest link in the Dolomites' famous four-pass loop, the Sella Ronda, this road curls between the pale towers of the Sella massif and the Sassolungo's saw-blade ridge. The rock glows pink at dusk — the enrosadira — which is the time to be up here with a camera. On summer mornings the pass sometimes restricts private cars to cut congestion, so check access days or, better, drive it late afternoon into that pink hour.
