Passo Campolongo (Campolongo Pass), at 1,875 m6,152 ft, links Corvara, in Val Badia, to Arabba. You can reach it without a car, and short trails link it to both villages and to the Corvara lifts.
Where is Campolongo Pass and what can you see from it?
The pass opens between the Sella massif and the Fanes group, on the border between South Tyrol and the province of Belluno, where Arabba belongs to the Livinallongo (Buchenstein) valley. On trail 3, the last stretch up to the pass looks onto the Sella group.
