# Passo Campolongo (Ju de Ćiaulunch)

Passo Campolongo links Corvara, in Val Badia, to Arabba, between the Sella and the Fanes group. You can reach it by bus 472, on foot from Arabba or Planac, or on the way down from the Boè gondola.

- Elevation: 1875 m
- Region: Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto
- Valleys: Val Badia and the Livinallongo (Buchenstein) valley

Passo Campolongo (Campolongo Pass), at 1,875 m (6,152 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.

## What can you do from Passo Campolongo?
