This talk describes the activities carried out in order to estimate the
distance travelled by the neutrinos beam between CERN and LNGS with an accuracy better than 1 meter. In particular, the distance between two fundamental points has been estimated: the start point at CERN (de fined as T-40-S-CERN) and the OPERA detector point (defined as A1-9999). The measurements campaigns, at CERN and at LNGS, were performed
using both terrestrial and Global Positioning System (GPS) based geodetic techniques. The positions of the two fundamental points were estimated in
a common reference frame through the processing of the collected observations. The resulting distance (730534.610 m) was estimated with an accuracy at the level of 20 cm, remarkably better than the stated limit
