Sassolungo Massif from Sella Pass

The Iconic Sassolungo Massif

This camera frames the unmistakable jagged spires of the Sassolungo (Langkofel) group, one of the most photographed rock formations in the Dolomites. Its serrated limestone pinnacles rise abruptly from the high pastures, instantly recognisable to climbers and hikers from around the world.

The High Alpine Pass

The view is captured from Sella Pass, perched at roughly 2,225 metres, a celebrated mountain road that links the Val Gardena and Val di Fassa valleys. The pass is a gateway to the famous Sella Ronda circuit and a magnet for cyclists, motorcyclists and skiers.

A Living Alpine Landscape

Whether blanketed in winter snow or carpeted with summer meadows, this stretch of the Dolomites — a UNESCO World Heritage region — offers an ever-changing portrait of one of Europe's great mountain landscapes. The thin high-altitude air often delivers strikingly clear Dolomite skies above the pale rock walls.
