Passo Giau

Veneto

At 2236m this is one of the most scenic passes in the Dolomites, a grassy saddle surrounded by peaks on every side and a regular feature of the Giro d'Italia. The short walk up toward Rifugio Fedare or Nuvolau rewards with an amphitheatre of jagged summits, and marmots whistle from the surrounding scree in summer.
