The Sass Pordoi cable car takes you in few minutes from
the Pordoi Pass to the summit of Sass Pordoi, where a beautiful view of all
the Dolomites is available all around you.
You can get to the summit,
perhaps eating at the restaurant, and descend again with the cable car, or
you can descend by foot along one of the three following itineraries.
If you
descend by foot from Saas Pordoi, plan your trip with one of the many public transportation
available, as your arrival point will not be at the Pordoi Pass, but
somewhere else.
The Sass Pordoi is
an ideal starting point for hikes to Piz Boe, to the mountain passes
Gardena and Campolongo and to Colfosco through the Val Mezdi.
For example you may start from the top of the cable car and walk towards
the forcella (gulley) Pordoi (2.829m.) and just after the gulley,
at the point where the footpaths cross, turn right to ascend the south west crest
to the top of Piz Boe (3152m.). From here the easy return to the
refuge Maria where you may rest and eat before descending to
the Pordoi pass. Time required approximately 3 hours.
