Before you go

Snow chains can be required in winter and ski traffic is heavy on weekends from December to April. In summer go early, before it gets hot in the city. It's often 15 degrees cooler at the top.

Which way round

Up and back the same way: the road above Pradollano is closed to traffic.

When it’s open

Normally open all year, though snow can close it for a day or two.
