A cold wind from the high crags meets the car as you crest the pass — the road unfurls in a series of hairpin turns and the Sella Group rises in vertical slabs ahead. Your day begins with a modern gondola lift to 1,830 m, where a 2.5 km toboggan run waits, lit for night descents and topped by an artificial-snow system that keeps the line open when winter slackens.
