Passo Campolongo - Rifugio Lago Boe

Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and forward towards Lienz (a little after Spittal highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through Drau valley, which brings us in Italy. The road further leads past Dobbiaco / Toblach and Brunico / Bruneck. Only a little after the last-mentioned town, past which leads a bypass road, we turn left into a valley Val Badia. Further, we drive through the mentioned valley past settlements La Vila and Corvara. Next follows an ascent towards the mountain pass Passo Campolongo. Some hundred meters before the mountain pass, we will notice on the left side a macadam parking lot on which we park. The parking lot is located after the hotel Laguscei on the opposite side of the bus stop. By the road is also a bottom station of the chairlift. A smaller parking lot is also on the right side of the road before the bus stop.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the main road (towards the south) to hotel Boe, which is located on the right west side of the road. At the hotel where there are also signposts we go right on a macadam road following the signs »Rifugio Lago Boe«. Behind the hotel, the road turns to the right and slightly descends, and then starts ascending and crosses the ski slope. Further, the road is for a short time ascending through the forest and then it brings us on the mountain pasture Malga Plan Fisti.
We continue on the road over a mountain pasture and a little after the mountain pasture we come to a marked crossing where the footpath towards the mountain hut Kaiser Hütte branches off to the left. We continue right and continue to ascend on the road. After a short ascent then also the path 638A towards the summit Crep de Munt branches off to the right. We continue left on the road from which beautiful views are opening up towards Marmolada and on mountains above the valley Val Badia. The road here ascends a little steeper and again brings us to a ski slope. A little higher road turns to the right and continues to ascend by mostly grassy slopes. The road then becomes less steep and soon brings us to the hut Rifugio Lago Boe. To the hut also runs a cable car from the settlement Corvara in Val Badia. Near the mountain hut there is also bottom station of the chairlift, which runs towards the summit Valon (2530 meters). Both cableways operate also in the summer months.
