What it is like to ride.

The SS 346 is short but steep: on both sides it reaches an 18% gradient, and the Falcade side is the tougher one, with one hard stretch after another. On a motorbike, climb calmly and use engine braking on the way down. From Falcade you can carry on to the Valles Pass, whose road branches off a few kilometres from the village.

What to see.

The Col Margherita cable car leaves from the pass and climbs to about 2,500 metres, a viewpoint over the Dolomites. The name comes from the travellers' hospice founded in 1358; in winter the pass is the heart of the San Pellegrino ski area.

For your ride.

To stay near the pass: motorcycle-friendly hotels in the Dolomites, with garage and services as declared, each with its source.
