About Passo Sella
The Passo Sella (2244 m) lies between the Sella massif and the Langkofel. The road winds through meadows and forest to a summit with a view of the whole Langkofel group.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
