What’s the best way to reach the Valparola pass?
The Valparola pass (2168 m a.s.l. - Ladin Ju de Valparola, Italian Passo di Valparola) is located in the province of Belluno near the border with South Tyrol and connects the South Tyrolean village of Val Badia with Belluno (Veneto). It is a popular destination and starting point for those keen to experience the unique landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites. The best way is without a car: that’s because on foot, by bike, via the cable car or public transport, you can conquer the passes in a sustainable manner whilst enjoying the superlative backdrop of the Dolomites.
Wild camping is prohibited on the Dolomite passes in South Tyrol and throughout the rest of Italy. There are, however, many RV parks where you can stay for up to 72 hours. They serve as a stopover, offering essential amenities such as electricity connections and supply and disposal facilities. For stays exceeding 72 hours, we highly recommend booking a pitch on a campsite. Campsites provide a wide range of amenities and facilities that will improve your experience.
