Selva - Wolkenstein - Selva di Val Gardena: Grödnerjoch
Passo Gardena (Grödner Joch) straddles the divide between Val Gardena and Val Badia in South Tyrol, and its position has made it a crossing point between two Ladin valleys. At 2,136 metres, the pass links Selva di Val Gardena with Corvara in Badia on the road around the Sella Group. Pale Dolomite rock rises nearby in the Sella massif and the Cir peaks, while meadows and conifer woods shape the gentler ground around the route. The pass sits within the UNESCO-listed Dolomites, recognized in 2009, and forms part of the four-pass circuit around Sella that is well known to cyclists. German, Italian and Ladin place names reflect the multilingual character of this corner of the Alps.

Selva di Val Gardena sits in the upper Val Gardena valley in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region, where the Sella Group and Sassolungo massif define the Dolomite horizon. The village belongs to the Ladin cultural area, and Ladin remains part of everyday local identity alongside Italian and German. It is one of Val Gardena’s three main communities and has direct road links towards the Gardena and Sella passes. In warmer months, marked paths reach high pastures and mountain huts; winter brings access to the Sella Ronda ski circuit.

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is renowned across Italy for the Dolomites, whose pale limestone massifs define much of its eastern skyline. This autonomous region follows the upper Adige basin, from vineyards and apple orchards around Bolzano to high valleys crossed by glaciers and Alpine passes. Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
