Passo di Falzarego (el. 2105 m.) is a high mountain pass in the province of Belluno in Italy.
It connects Andráz and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The name Falza Rego means false king and refers to a king of the Fanes (South Tyrol), who was supposedly turned to stone for betraying his people.
A gondola rises to the Lagazuoi Piccolo (2762 m.), which was the object of heavy combat in World War I. The tunnel that the Italians built under the Austrian lines is open to the public.
