Dolomites Drive

Hi,
We are staying in Ortisei for 4 nights this July.

We plan on spending one day exploring Seceda and Alpe di Siusi.

Another day we will explore and hike in the Val di Funes.

For our last full day we plan on going on the coffin lift Forcella Sassolungo. After doing that we would like to do a scenic Dolomites drive.

Can anyone recommend a suitable scenic drive ?

Thanks for your feedback.
Ryan

No experience, but on the map there appears to be a circular route that takes in Forcella Sassolungo and goes round one of the highest peaks in the area. Roads SS242, 243 and 244. If the bends are anything to go by, it looks pretty scenic!

A very scenic hike, not difficult but for the sure footed only, is going up by cable car to Forcella Sassolungo and coming down on foot, making a full (clockwise) turn around the right peak. It takes several hours, but the first section in an almost lunar landscape is unbelieveable. I took it say half a century ago, as a child, but the memory is still in my mind.
