A paved road to Cereda Pass in the Dolomites

Passo Cereda is a mountain pass at an elevation of 1.361m (4,465ft) above the sea level, located in the southern slopes of the Pale di San Martino mountain group, in Italy.

Passo Cereda, one of the lesser known climbs of the Dolomites, forms a boundary between the Trento Province, of the Trentino Alto Adige and Belluno Province, of the Veneto Region. The pass is traversed by the asphalted Strada Provinciale 347 and it links Agordo in the Cordevole valley and Fiera di Primiero. There are 2 routes to reach the summit. Starting from Tonadico, the ascent is 6.7 km long. Over this distance, the elevation gain is 603 meters. The average percentage is 9 %.

And starting from Ponte Mas, the ascent is 35.5 km long. Over this distance, the elevation gain is 994 meters. The average percentage is 2.8 %. The road to the pass has usually a normal surface, with sometimes dangerous narrow curves and especially in the villages, where you need to take care since the very narrow village roads don’t allow the view around some corners.
