- When are the passes open?
- Many Dolomites passes stay open in winter too, apart from temporary closures for snow; others, such as the Stelvio, Splügen and Staller Sattel, close from late autumn to spring. For motorcycles the best season runs from May–June to early October. Always check before setting off.
- Which lesser-known passes are worth the trip?
- Passo Valles, Passo Cereda and Forcella Franche on the Ottovolante Dolomitico, and Passo delle Erbe and Passo Furcia on the Corona Imperiale: less traffic, plenty of bends and views the big passes don't have.
