Pilot Phase Gardena Pass traffic limitations what does it mean?
Finding information for the Pilot phase of the Gardena pass where cars will be limited to 150 cars per day are difficult to find. I know have a few questions.
- Which passes are part of this Pilot phase or is it just the Gardena pass?
- How can you reserve spots and will there be any information about it soon?
- If we would stay at Seis am Schlern for a few nights can we then go through the pass as we are staying in the valley?

At the moment, nothing has been confirmed with certainty about how the pilot phase will work, which passes will be included, or how reservations will be handled.
However, Seis am Schlern is not in Val Gardena. Therefore, it will probably not qualify for any exemption or advantage intended for guests staying locally in Val Gardena.
Answer by IS-Admin from 26/06/2026 15:15:09The trial traffic restriction at the Gardena Pass, originally planned for 1 September 2026, will not be implemented in the expected form for the time being. Instead of an actual closure, only a "virtual" or digital trial run is planned. There will be no physical roadblocks and no fines for vehicles that do not comply with the proposed restriction.
During this trial phase, traffic movements will be closely monitored and evaluated. The data collected will serve as a basis for future traffic-calming measures on the Dolomite passes.
