Sellajoch

Sellajoch

The Sellajoch, or Passo Sella, is located at an altitude of 2,240 meters and connects the Val Gardena in South Tyrol with the Fassa Valley in Trentino. Nestled between the majestic Langkofel and the massive Sella Group, this Alpine pass is one of the most scenic connections in the Dolomites. The drive up takes you over narrow winding roads and through spectacular rock formations – a true pleasure for those who enjoy traveling with the roof down.

Dream destination on the Great Dolomite Road

As part of the legendary Great Dolomite Road, the Sellajoch is a must for any convertible road trip through the South Tyrolean mountains. The route winds its way steeply through the alpine landscape and offers breathtaking views throughout – from rugged cliffs to wide valleys. Anyone planning a convertible tour through the Dolomites will find here one of the highlights of the entire route: perfect road conditions, spectacular nature, and an atmosphere that feels both wild and calming.

Vistas and rest between peaks

Once at the top, a panoramic view opens up that is second to none. The Sellajoch is a popular starting point for hikes, climbing tours, and mountain biking adventures – but also for anyone who simply wants to enjoy the moment. A brief stop at one of the mountain huts, an espresso on the terrace, the panorama in view – that's all it takes for a perfect break. And with a bit of luck, a marmot might even wander across the meadows.

A pass to remember

The Sellajoch is far more than just a connection between two valleys – it is a symbol of the fascination of the Dolomites. The rugged walls of the surrounding mountains, the play of light and shadow on the rocks, and the crisp mountain air make this place a special destination. Anyone on a convertible tour or trip through this region will remember this pass as one of the most beautiful sections of the journey.
