Sella Pass, Mountain pass between Val Gardena and Val di Fassa, Italy.
Description
Sella Pass is a mountain pass connecting Val Gardena and Val di Fassa at 2,218 meters elevation. The route winds through limestone cliffs and serves as the main road between South Tyrol and Trentino provinces.

Practical
