On google maps, the street view and satellite view both show a couple of pretty big campers parked up at the road end parking, based on that I'd say "yes".

That'll be a motorhome then, not a campervan!

Thanks. But do you know the answer ?

it’s the rocky tunnel just at the start of the via ferrata over the river.

Pretty sure lorries were going up there when we were last there, was a few years ago but I can't see the tunnel changing in that time, we were in a 5.5m by just under 3m high landrover camper and I don't remember the tunnel being that tight, there are a couple of tight hairpins after it though.

Done it in a minibus and don't recall any of those 2m ish height barriers many car parks have.

Soz, not currently.  When you going?  I'll know the answer  on 6 August when we drive up  in our [ relatively teeny] campervan.

It's got hotels and shops etc at the end so must allow some biggish vehicles.

I have sent groups up there in 28 seater coaches and they have no issues, fits through the tunnel and drops of at PMC at the end of the road. 

I cant give you an exact size but I think the coach would be bigger than your van.

There are a few local coach companies, you could always drop them a email. I am sure they could give you exact sizes as they have to go to all these places.

have a good trip

So, If you look on google maps and go to street view you can see the sign at the tunnel.

height 3.25m

weight 15T

length up to 11m

It is a tight turn, but easily doable in a camper van. The main prob is meeting traffic coming in the opposite direction. It often gets a bit backed up there.  As a result, I've always made my way up in the quite of the late evening or early morning..

Ive been through that tunnel in a fiat ducato camper, 2.7m high and 6m length with no issues and don’t recall it being tight either.

Thanks
