It's a scenic, though challenging, 430 km trip with start at "Hotel Post" in Pfunds (Austria) and arrival at "Hotel Kolfuschgerhof" in Colfosco di Corvara (Italy) (08h33 - 428 km) covering 11 different mountain passes in South Tyrol / Dolomites: Hotel Post in Pfunds (departure) | Passo Rombo (Timmelsjoch) | Passo di Monte Giovo (Jaufenpass) | Passo delle Erbe (Würzjoch) (partially) | Passo Campolongo | Passo Pordoi (Pordoijoch) | Passo Sella (Sellajoch) | Passo Gardena (Grödnerjoch) | Passo Valparola | Passo Falzarego (partially) | Passo di Giau | Passo di Fedaia | Passo Sella (Sellajoch) (partially) | Passo Pordoi (Pordoijoch) | Passo Campolongo | Passo Gardena (Grödnerjoch) (partially) | Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Colfosco di Corvara).

And here's the provisional map and itinerary of the Sella Ronda trip scheduled for
Saturday August 30, 2014 (whole group - more stops for food and picture time):
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=H...ra=ls&t=m&z=11
It's an epic five and a half hour trip with start and arrival at "Hotel Kolfuschgerhof" in Corvara (05h39 - 244 km - manageable with one fuel tank) covering ten different mountain passes of the Sella Ronda area: start at Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Corvara/Colfosco) | Passo Gardena (Grödnerjoch) | Passo Sella (Sellajoch) | Passo Pordoi (Pordoijoch) | Passo Campolongo | Passo Valparola | Passo Falzarego | Passo di Giau | Passo San Pellegrino | Passo di Fedaia | Passo Pordoi (Pordoijoch) again | Passo Sella (Sellajoch) again | Passo Gardena (Grödnerjoch) again | arrival at Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Corvara/Colfosco).

And here's also the provisional map and itinerary of the morning trip scheduled for
Sunday August 31, 2014 (check-out of hotel - start of the return back home):
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=H...sz=16&t=m&z=12
The vast majority of the group will check out of "Hotel Kolfuschgerhof" on Sunday morning and head back home. Here's a two hour morning trip to graciously bid farewell to Sella Ronda this year and start the journey back home. It is with start and arrival at "Hotel Kolfuschgerhof" in Corvara (02h02 - 82 km) covering five different mountain passes of the Sella Ronda area: start at Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Corvara/Colfosco) | Passo Gardena (Grödnerjoch) | Passo Sella (Sellajoch) | Passo Pordoi (Pordoijoch) | Passo Falzarego | Passo Valparola | Passo Gardena (Grödnerjoch) again | arrival at Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Corvara/Colfosco).
Quite likely the group might split up at La Villa (point "F" on the map): one part of the group will head North towards Brunico to get onto the A22 highway at the entrance/exit Bressanone/Brixen, the other part of the group will head West towards Wolkenstein to get onto the A22 highway at the entrance/exit Chiusa/Klausen.
Given the overlap of points on the map, the order is as follows: G[A]/B/C/D/E/F/G[A]:
- (A/G) = Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Corvara/Colfosco)
- (A/G) to (B) = Hotel (Corvara) to Wolkenstein (Gardena Pass)
- (B) to (C) = Wolkenstein (Gardena Pass) to Canazei/Pecol (Sella Pass)
- (C) to (D) = Canazei/Pecol (Sellapass) to Arabba (Passo Pordoi)
- (D) to (E) = Arabba (Passo Pordoi) to Lagazuoi (part of Passo Falzarego)
- (E) to (F) = Lagazuoi (part of Passo Falzarego) to La Villa (Passo Valparola)
- (F) to (G) = La Villa to Hotel (Corvara) (part of Passo Gardena)
- (G/A) = Hotel Kolfuschgerhof (Corvara/Colfosco)
