Itinerary description
From the village of Valdobbiadene on tar seemingly endless 16 hairpin bends up to Monte Cesen (1570m), which you pass about 70 meters altitude below the summit. On the ascent you can enjoy great panoramas over the northern Italian landscape.
At the top, the paved road ends at a parking area for hikers. Passing through a pasture fence, one comes to the graveled descent towards Lentiai.
The route is roughly graveled, but in most sections is easily passable. A few sections, however, require a vehicle with ground clearance, which can also put away somewhat coarser ground well.
On this dry day, the track could be driven with rear wheel drive without any problems. However, in the opposite direction or when it is wet, you could definitely use four-wheel drive in some places.
The route can also be found in numerous guides:
Alpenrouten.de: https://alpenrouten.de/Cesen-Monte-Mariech-Malga_point81.html
Alpenpaesse.de: https://www.alpenpaesse.de/alpenpaesse/monte-cesen
MDMOT: https://www.mdmot.com/VT1-Traumstrecke-in-Venetien-mit-Sicht-auf-die-Dolomiten.html (By the way, the MDMOT guides are always worth a look. Handy and robust, they can easily cope with a not so friendly contact on the road and give valuable tips! Beside German there are many editions also in English. I simply like them and have them lying around for numerous countries. And no, I get nothing for this hint...)
Denzel: No. 237 - here, however, only the tarred road to the parking lot is described. SG 2-3
