Since 2024 one will come like ZTL for some of the most important passes of the Dolomites in order to limit the traffic which during the winter and summer tourist season reaches very high peaks, congesting these beautiful areas of our country. Therefore, from the summer of 2024, access by car or motorcycle will only be possible through online booking. We’ll start with Pordoi, Campolongo, Gardena and Sella.
However, if the experiments show positive results, it is possible that this system could be adopted elsewhere. All this is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministers of Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility Enrico Giovannini and the Ministers of Technological Innovation and Digitalization Vittorio Colao and the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano, the Province of Belluno and the Veneto Region.
The aim is to reduce traffic on the passes of the Dolomites, thereby reducing CO2 emissions, which peak at some winter and summer periods. Thus, in less than two years, in some specific periods, in order to access the steps mentioned above, it will be necessary to complete special online booking.
Model to be accepted This is Lake Braies. So you can book access as long as there are spaces available to park your car. From next summer, the first digital portals will be installed, which will allow driving a car or motorcycle to the passes. Everything will work in 2024 with the aim of further developing the system by 2026, when the Winter Olympic Games will be held in Cortina.
However, we will work not only on limiting the number of cars on the passes. In fact, the plan also provides for the creation and digitization of parking and transfer zones. Local public transport will then be strengthened, as well as incentives for ski lifts and “active mobility”. There will be no restrictions for those arriving on foot or by bike. Luca ZayaPresident of the Veneto Region, commented:
At the height of the winter tourist season, as in summer, a large influx of cars leads to significant environmental pollution. We set ourselves the goal of solving or at least reducing the problem without thinking about the closure of the Dolomites, which are historically bridges between the Alpine valleys. With new technologies, it is possible to control and program, putting together a whole range of dynamics, starting with the possible booking.
The problem of excess traffic on the main passes of the Dolomites has been discussed for several years. In fact, interventions have been asked for some time, and there are those who have even suggested closing cars and motorcycles. Thus, with this solution, we are trying to solve the problem without reaching the extreme degree of completely blocking the movement of vehicles.
