Sass Pordoi (2950 m n. m., německy Pordoispitze) je skalnatý vrchol ve tvaru plošiny nalézající se v masivu Sella v Dolomitech. Vrchol je zpřístupněn lanovkou ze sedla Passo Pordoi, jejíž vrcholová stanice s vyhlídkovou terasou a restaurací je výchozí bod jak pro náročné túry a horolezecké trasy v oblasti masivu Sella, tak pro méně zdatné turisty, kteří tak mohou snadno vystoupit na vrchol Piz Boe – nejsnadněji přístupnou třítisícovku v Dolomitech.

Passo Pordoi

Two women stand beneath a crucifix at a military cemetery in the Dolomites. In the background you can see Passo Pordoi. The graves belong to Austrian soldiers who died in the First World War.

The crucifix still stands today but the bodies have probably been repatriated, as there is no longer a marked cemetery underneath.

Unlabelled, but likely taken in August 1932 by Romanian tourists.

Found in Bucharest, 13 July 2023.

Col Rodella it’s aerial tramway/cabin lift for 125 persons. It was built in 2005 and can carrying 1100 people per hour. It’s huge and massive construction but relatively modern.

But imagine doing/ achieving that in 1960! There is a museum dedicated to Maria Piaz Pavarin, who devoted her life to tourism and wanted to built a cable car in her region to make it more attractive for tourists. She was 86 years old when with her son completed the cable. The workers of course didn’t have modern equipment, so mostly they used hand tools and climbed a lot) So the cable car Sass Pordoi has operated since 1963.  Maria died in 1971 at the age of 94 enjoying the results of her efforts.

Having dedicated her life to mountains and giving people access to them, as well as taking care of 7 children alone, her last words were “L’é dut nia”… everything is nothing…

Alta Via 2 Day 3: One thing the AV2 isn’t short on is elevation gain/loss. The day begins with a steep climb up to Pisciadù Hütte. From there it’s more climbing, then more climbing up to the trail's high point at 9,722 ft / 2,963 m. Or maybe it isn’t the high point, but it might be? On a not-too-distant peak, I can spy a cable car station - the second of the hike (not including chair lifts of which there have already been too many to count). Further ahead is yet another cable car at Rifugio Forcella Pordoi that could be used to bypass a steep downhill to yet another road at Passo Pordoi. Turns out that hiking down ends up being faster than the cable car (which also costs monies). Passo Pordoi seems like it would be an okay place to resupply if I wasn’t already carrying what’s probably too much food. Lots of tourist shops, hotels, and restaurants. The availability of food along the AV2 hasn’t been an issue. That said, carrying all the extra food from the start is likely saving some money so there’s that? The trail climbs once more, and I spy some paragliders soaring high above me along the mountain tops. I'm not going to lie; I’m into the idea of learning to paraglide. Does anyone out there think this is a good idea? It has to be, right? It looks like an awesome way to get around in the mountains - more fun than a horse at least? The trail winds past the seemingly closed but nice-looking Rifugio Viel Dal Pan before diving steeply to Lago di Fedaia where hundreds of sheep are being herded into trucks. I don’t think our spooking them helps. Once again we’re tempted by the mountain huts, and once again temptation wins out. Rifugio Dolomia will be home tonight. The AV2 leads over a dam immediately north of the rifugio - the flattest section of the hike thus far - and the refugio’s owner informs us that this is where the opening scene of the Italian Job was filmed. That explains all the photos of Donald Sutherland and Jason Statham. Distance: 13.66 mi / 21.98 km Elevation gain: 4,744 ft / 1,446 m #altavia2 #dolomites
