Alpen-Panoramen, Panorama der Alpen

Sella Ciampigotto is the W corner of the high plateau of Razzo (1700-1800 m), which can be accessed in four different ways:
- from the Cadore, W, leaving the main road to Passo Mauria short under the wonderful village of Vigo di Cadore, literally full of old churches and palaces. The nearby Lorenzago di Cadore was a favourite vacation place for Karol Wojtyla;
- from Sauris, E, a place famous for its ham, for its lake and for its German dialect. In winter this access is closed, since avalanche danger adds to the problems caused by a well-known periodic landslide threatening the final 18% ascent, which consequently is closed at times also in summer;
- from Val Pesarina, NE, through a remarkable sequence of picturesque mountain villages;
- from Val Frison, N. This road is currently not asphalted and also closed to the motorized traffic, an aspect that increases the already noticeable charm of this wild place.
Sella Ciampigotto hosts the nice Rifugio Tenente Fabbro. The present view is taken few hundreds metres E of this mountain hut.
