Starting from 00:00 on 15 November 2025 and until 11.59pm on 15 April 2026, the use of snow chains on board or winter tires on the SS638 of the Giau Pass is mandatory. This measure concerns the stretch between the Pocol crossroads, where it intersects with the SS48 of the Dolomites, and the Selva di Cadore crossroads, at the confluence with the SS251 of Val Zoldo and Cellina.
All motorists are invited to pay attention to this regulation, especially those who will travel this mountain road, known for its variable weather conditions and possible difficulties related to snow. Safety on the road is essential, so we recommend:
- Check the mandatory presence of snow chains in the trunk.
- Make sure the tires are winter and in good condition.
- Adapt your speed and driving mode to the road conditions.
Remember that compliance with these provisions is not only a legal obligation, but also contributes to ensuring the safety of all road users.
