ROAD TRIP | Driving over the Giau Pass - Italy 4K
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- This road trip goes over the 2236 meter high Giau Pass, in Italian, Passo Giau. The pass is located in the Dolomites and the province of Belluno in Italy. It connects Cortina d'Ampezzo with Colle Santa Lucia and Selva di Cadore.
It is located at the center of a vast mountain pasture at the foot of Nuvolau 2,574 m and dell'Averau 2,647 m from which you can easily reach the Monte Pore 2,405 m. Impressive is the view west towards Colle Santa Lucia with the Pale di San Martino, Cime D'Auta, Marmolada, Piz Boe and Setsass, just to the east towards the valley of Cortina d'Ampezzo, with Tofane, Croda Rossa, Pomagagnon, Cristallo, Croda da Lago, etc.
Giau Pass is comprised in the territories of Colle Santa Lucia, San Vito di Cadore, Cortina d'Ampezzo, and Selva di Cadore. The road that goes up from Selva di Cadore has 29 tornanti and 3 tunnels for protection against avalanches, while the side towards Cortina is more easily passable. It is an interesting alternative to get to Cortina from Agordino area also because the road of Passo Giau, unlike the Passo Falzarego road is passable by trucks and coaches. However, despite the efforts made over the years, the winter season is often compromised by the avalanches that come down to block the uncovered parts of the road.
Since 1988 the Giau Pass is the sixth and steepest of seven Dolomites mountain passes riders cross in the annual Maratona dles Dolomites single-day bicycle race.

Fantastically beautiful rock formations, this is a trip I could imagine taking.

So nice and green it is there, is it really so nice?
Thank you for your question. It is even more magnificent and wonderful to be present and see everything live. Feel free to share the video.
What is it like to drive over such mountain crossings, are they all equally beautiful?
Thank you for your question. It is almost without exception just as wonderful and even more magnificent to be present and see everything live than what you see on the videos. Feel free to share the video.
Are the Alps and the Dolemits really as beautiful as many say.
Hello, and thank you for your question. We would say that both the Alps and the Dolomites are fantastically beautiful, each in its own way. Feel free to share our videos.
Looks amazing, is it like that in reality too?
Hello, and thank you for your question. We dare say that it is more beautiful in reality than on video, so it should be experienced. Feel free to share our videos.
I could have been involved in that trip.
Thank you for your comment. Fantastic scenery to drive through. Feel free to share the video.
How often are you in that part of Europe, do you think there is so much great videos from there?
Thank you for your questions. We are in that part of Europe every summer. We believe that there are still many great passes that we have left to drive over and film. Feel free to share the video.
Is it thin air when you get that high up. Otherwise you have really nice videos.
Thank you for your feedback and your question. When you get up to 2,500 - 3,000 metres, the air can feel thinner for some. Feel free to share the videos.
Is there snow on these peaks. Saw that there was snow on some of the videos you had from Norway.
Thank you for your feedback and your question. Norway is far to the north, so here there is snow on the peaks even in summer. Europe has higher mountains than Norway, so naturally, there is also snow on the highest peaks. It depends a bit on what time of year you drive. Feel free to share the videos.
Have you tried to spend the night on any of the mountain peaks you have driven over.
Thank you for your question. On our trip in Italy this summer, we stayed one night at the top of the Paso de Stelvio. We were a bit unlucky with the weather up there. There was a little snow in the morning. Please share the videos.
See there are a lot of turns, is it difficult to do on those roads?
Hello, and thank you for your question. Part of the charm of driving over the highest passes in Europe is that there are a lot of turns, but driving there is no problem. It can be more challenging with a motorhome or caravan in some places. Feel free to share our videos.
I see that the weather is not so nice in this video, is the weather quite changeable or not?
Thank you for your question. On our trip to Italy this summer, the weather was a little more variable than usual. Generally speaking, the weather is very stable and nice in Italy. Feel free to share the videos.
Is it difficult to drive over these passes. Are the roads safe?
Hi, and thanks for your questions. There is a big difference in the quality of the roads over the different passes. All are drivable, so you have to drive according to the conditions and take it easy. But it is worth the experience. Feel free to share our videos.
Is this the far north of Italy and is it difficult to find hotels near these roads?
Hi, and thanks for your questions. This video was recorded in the northern part of Italy. It is not difficult to get a hotel or accommodation along the passes. Feel free to share our videos.
Is this in the dolomites?
Thank you for your comment. This is part of the Dolomites. Nice view. Feel free to share the video.
Is this north of Italy?
Thank you for your question. This is in the northern part of Italy. Feel free to share the video.
