Done both directions of this climb today. The descent to Corvara in a word magnificent, with the majestic mountain massifs of the area in the background and the green alpine meadows is a real treat! The ascent, especially between the hairpin bends, is quite steep but doable. The asphalt is perfect.
Vandaag beidde richtingen gedaan van deze klim. De afdaling naar Corvara in een woord schitterend, met de majestueuze bergmassieven van de omgeving op de achtergrond en de groene alpenweiden is echt een kadootje! De beklimming is vooral tussen de haarspeldbochten aardig steil maar goed te doen. Het asfalt is perfect.
Having done both directions of Sellaronda, I think Passo Campolongo has to deal with a strong competition from Pordoi, Sella and Gardena in terms of scenery and required effort.
With that said, I did prefer the descent into Corvara mainly because you will have a stunning view in front of you. If you climb, the view will be less spectacular but keeping in mind that we are still in the Dolomiti so "less spectacular" means still a beautiful scenery around you.
The climb itself is fairly doable, with a first section on switchbacks and then the final straight climb to the Passo itself. Probably the 2nd easiest when doing a clockwise Sellaronda (the easiest being Passo Gardena from Pian de Gralba)
Nice running climb in the Sella Ronda. In Corvara and above the necessary catering facilities. In the Maratona ride it twice, the second time it gets spicier already.
Lekker lopende klim in de Sella Ronda. In Corvara en boven de nodige horeca. In de Maratona rij hem twee keer, de tweede keer wordt hij al wat pittiger.

Passo Campolongo vanuit Corvara vind ik de minst spectaculaire klim van de 8 beklimmingen van de Sella Ronda. Passo Campolongo biedt in tegenstelling tot de andere 3 passen niet de spectaculaire vergezichten die je van de Dolomieten bent gewend. De beklimming vanuit Corvara is ook nog een over een brede en gelijkmatige weg. Hierdoor is het wel een fantastische afdaling 😃
From Corvara, the climb is quite steep through a series of hairpin bends, after which it levels off. Further on, there is some climbing again, but the percentages remain friendly. Not particularly beautiful (but that is probably because the climb has to compete with the fantastic surrounding passes), but a very nice warm-up for what lies behind (Pordoi, Falzarego, etc.).
Vanuit Corvara is het behoorlijk klimmen via een reeks haarspeldbochten, waarna de klim afvlakt. Verderop weer even klimmen, maar de percentages blijven vriendelijk. Niet bijzonder mooi (maar dat komt waarschijnlijk doordat de klim het moet opnemen tegen de fantastische omliggende passen), maar een hele fijne opwarmer voor wat er achter ligt (Pordoi, Falzarego, etc.)
Did this as the first climb of the Sella Ronda going clockwise. I rode early so avoided the traffic. The most fun part was the section of hairpins just out of Corvara. From there the road straightens out and ascends through grassy slopes bordered by Forrest.
As for the other side, this climb is unavoidable when you are based in Corvara or one of the surrounding villages. If you are training, it is one of the better climbs to do your intervals.
Slightly strange climb. Winds up directly from the relatively busy Corvara. Strangely enough, the bends are steeper than the rest of the climb. After the series of turns follows a long spur where the wind is often on the head.
New asphalt, quite a lot of traffic, little hindrance.
Ietwat vreemde klim. Slingert direct vanuit het relatief drukke Corvara omhoog. Gek genoeg zijn de bochten steiler dan de rest van de klim. Na de reeks bochten volgt een lange uitloper waarbij de wind vaak op kop staat.
Nieuw asfalt, redelijk veel verkeer, weinig hinder
When cycling the Sella Ronda in a clockwise direction and starting in Canazei, the Passo Campolongo was the penultimate climb for me.
At the end of the touristy Corvara starts a spicy hairpin climb of about 2 km. that winds up between the peaceful mountain meadows. In the smaller high-altitude valley there then follows a long straight and wide ascending road up to the unobtrusive pass height with a few inns.
Easiest (no extreme ％) and least imaginative pass in the Sella Ronda quartet!
Bij het fietsen van de Sella Ronda,in wijzerszin en vertrekkend in Canazei,was de Passo Campolongo voor mij de voorlaatste klim.
Aan het einde van het toeristisch drukke Corvara begint een pittige haarspeldbochtenklim, van ongeveer 2km., die zich tussen de vredige bergweiden naar boven slingert. In het kleinere hooggelegen dal volgt nadien een lange vrij rechte en breed oplopende weg tot de onopvallende pashoogte met enkele horecazaken.
Gemakkelijkste (geen extreme ％) en minst tot de verbeelding sprekende pas in het Sella Ronda kwartet!
I did this on the way to the Pordoi as the first climb of the day. To be honest, I don't know much about it anymore, after 600 km through the Dolomites you start cycling on the car pilot and I was really looking forward to the Pordoi.
The morning was still fresh and damp but the road was reasonably quiet.
The view of the mountains distracts tremendously from the pressure on the legs, I enjoy every second and don't notice the percentages.
The Campolongo is not really hard and is ideal to ride with your buddies and chat, the Pordoi which follows is a bit more serious.
Without shortchanging one climb here; enjoy the view and respect nature. The reward is huge because it is and remains pure enjoyment.
Deze op weg naar de Pordoi als eerste klim van de dag gedaan. Eerlijk gezegd weet ik er niet veel meer van, na 600 kilometer door de Dolomieten ga je wel eens op de auto pilot fietsen en ik was me enorm aan het verheugen op de Pordoi.
De ochtend was nog fris en vochtig maar de weg was redelijk rustig.
Het zicht op de bergen leid enorm af van de druk op de benen, ikzelf geniet iedere seconde en merk dan niet veel van de percentages.
De Campolongo is niet echt zwaar en is ideaal om met je maatjes op te rijden en bij te kletsen, de Pordoi die volgt is ietwat serieuzer.
Zonder 1 klim iets tekort te doen hier; geniet van het uitzicht en respecteer de natuur. De beloning is enorm want het is en blijft puur genieten.
