The Macchiarvana and Campo Lungo loop is 9 km long and has an elevation gain of just 50 m. It extends the Macchiarvana loop to the Campo Lungo meadows and remains on easy terrain.

This is the longest of the easy routes: start slowly, bring water, and pay attention to the weather, which changes quickly at high altitude.
