An exceptional panorama
Located in the Province of Belluno, near the border with Trentino-Alto Adige, Giau Pass (2233 m) occurs coma wide open pastures of the saddle between the soft tip Zonia south and the rugged north Gusella , forepart of Nuvolau. Well known to skiers from the Veneto and Trentino, this landscape strikes the visitor who admired him for the first time the contrast between the sweetness of green lawns and the huge towers that dominate them like giant gray stone, silent guardians of this "viewpoint" which appears be designed for the delectation of old. The view from Passo di Giau is indeed grand and beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful in the Alps: the cliffs north of Gusella, and the Nuvolau Averau, NE the pleasant valley of Cortina d'Ampezzo dominated by Tofane, Croda Rossa, Pomagagnon, Crystal, the Three Peaks, the Top Eleven and the Croda dei Toni, to the east of the Lastoni Formin and Croda da Lago, south, finally, Col Piombino, Punta di Zonia and spurs of Mount Cernera, with groups of the Marmolada and Sella.

In both cases, the road proceeds tortuosissima offering spectacular views, in an atmosphere full of solemnity.

The surrounding peaks of various forms and bold, then it shows how real and natural monuments, which has the look is not the soul can only bow modest and thoughtful. Coniferous forests instead underlie the slopes of the mountains, forming the classic alpine scenery, and allow a safe harbor in the days and during the hottest hours of summer, when these places - due to the altitude and the shape of the rocky soil - rather than become sunny.
