The Passo Pordoi (2239 m a.s.l) is ensconced between Sass Pordoi and Sass Becé, marking the border between the province of Trento and that of Belluno. It is reached from Canazei after 12 km and 28 sharp bends. Just a few hundred metres before the pass there is the famous Hotel Pordoi (1905), the first hotel ever to be built on this section of the Dolomite road and which still preserves intact its original Liberty style frescoes. On the Arabba slope of the Pordoi pass there is an ossuary that holds the remains of 500 soldiers who fell on the Austro-Hungarian front. In summer, the pass gives easy access to the Boé Group by means of the ultra modern cable way that quickly ascends the 2950 metres of the Sass Pordoi peak. In winter from this peak skilled skiers can tackle the demanding descent on the fork by the same name or down the impervious Val Lasties. Due to the particular characteristics of these tracks, they should be used only when in optimal snow conditions. In winter from Passo Pordoi it is also possible to reach the tracks of the Belvedere/Canazei ski area in just minutes or start the descent towards the Arabba basin and the subsequent links with the Sellaronda circuit.
