Valparola Pass
The Passo Valparola, nestled in the impressive mountain world of the Dolomites, is a dream destination for convertible drivers who love spectacular views, winding roads, and an alpine atmosphere. The pass connects the Gadertal with the Valparola Valley and is located at an altitude of around 2,200 meters – making it one of the most beautiful high mountain passes in the region. Those planning a convertible tour in South Tyrol will be rewarded here with a unique driving experience: perfect roads, clear mountain air, and a panorama that is unparalleled.
A convertible tour full of curves, history, and nature
Driving over the Passo Valparola is a feast for all the senses. The well-developed pass road winds through the rocky landscape in numerous curves and repeatedly offers impressive viewpoints of the Dolomite peaks, particularly the Lagazuoi and the Conturines group. This route is part of many popular convertible routes that connect South Tyrol with Venetia, inviting an unforgettable convertible road trip.
Near the pass lies the historic open-air museum "Museo all'aperto del Lagazuoi," which commemorates events from World War I. Here, visitors can experience up close in old positions and tunnels how hard life in the high Alps was back then. The combination of history, nature, and driving pleasure makes Passo Valparola a particularly versatile destination for convertible travels.
The perfect route for convertible drivers
Those driving the Passo Valparola should take their time to enjoy the journey. The route from Cortina d'Ampezzo over the Falzaregopass up to the Valparolapass and further to San Cassiano or La Villa is one of the most beautiful convertible routes in the Dolomites. Constant changes between tight curves, open panoramas, and gentle descents ensure a varied driving pleasure.
The combination with the nearby Gardena Pass or the Passo di Campolongo is particularly appealing – ideal extensions for a multi-day convertible tour through the Dolomites. Along the way, there are many opportunities for short stops, such as at small mountain huts or viewpoints, where one can enjoy the tranquility and the impressive landscape.
