WHY THIS HIKE

Lagazuoi and the Great War

A summit that is still a battlefield.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

The Lagazuoi, in the Fanis group above the Passo Falzarego, is one of the most emblematic summits of the Great War: there were outposts and trenches here, not far from the Sass de Stria. At its foot lies Lake Lagaciò, fed by underground springs. Those who do via ferratas can climb by the Kaiserjäger path, which runs through trenches and tunnels carved into the dolomite.

5 reasons to come - the trenches and tunnels of the Great War - Rifugio Lagazuoi and its panorama - Lake Lagaciò, fed by springs - the Kaiserjäger path, for those who do via ferratas - the Passo Falzarego, a crossroads of the Dolomites

Who it suits A demanding climb but on a path: the via ferrata stays an option, not a requirement.

History carved into rock: come and walk it with the Guidders.
