Location	Belluno,  Italy

Passo di Valparola (el. 2168 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the province of Belluno in Italy.

The pass lies a little west of Passo di Falzarego.

Before World War I, there was only a trail over the pass, but the area was heavily contended during the war. A remaining fort has been made into a museum.

The pass is the divide between the watersheds of the Adige, which flows west into the Adriatic Sea and the Piave, which flows east.
