Ways to reach Col Rodella without the cable car
While we strongly encourage using public transport and lift systems to help preserve the fragile ecosystem of the Dolomites, the Sella Pass is also accessible by car. Whenever possible, we recommend leaving your vehicle parked and choosing sustainable options, such as bus services or a combination of lifts and hiking. It’s a small choice that makes a big difference - for the mountains and for those who love them.
