The road to the summit, also known as Malga Novezza and Passo Cavallo, is asphalted but pretty steep and narrow. It’s called Strada Provinciale 8. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions. Avalanches, heavy snowfalls and landslides can occur anytime, being extremely dangerous due to frequent patches of ice. It has a well-deserved reputation for being dangerous because of unpredictable snowstorms and blizzards, and driving under these conditions, can be extremely challenging. It is subject to winter snowfalls and the road can be closed anytime when the access is not cleared of snow.
