Around 900 meters the road becomes less steep and enters a huge meadow. The selle has a few farm houses surrounded by pastureland, flanked by Monte Verzegnis on the west and Monte Piombada on the east. To the north are wonderful views of the snowy peaks beyond Tolmezzo.
The descent is very fast and curvy on wide smooth pavement. It then joins SS 512 and heads east toward Laga Cavazzo. The lake is beautiful blue-green in the sun. Then southward on Strada di Bottecchia along the Fiume Tagliamento, full of azzure snowmelt.

Wonderful ride, and you can see it during the Giro this year early in the Zoncolan stage. Should be awesome from the helicopter- don't miss it!
Bill, How do you always get such professional looking photos?
