This ski tour passes below some of the most beautiful Dolomite mountains, like the Civetta, the Pelmo, the Tofane, the Lagazuoi, the Settsass and the Sella, where between 1915 and the end of World War I, Italian and Austrian soldiers clashed in cruel and brutal battles, culminating in the famous explosion of the Col di Lana peak in 1916.
Today, numerous ski slopes wind their way through the middle of these former war settings that up to today have preserved numerous testimonials in memory of war events that should never be repeated again. It’s here that unspeakable tragedies occurred not only as a result of military attacks, but also following natural events such as avalanches, bitter cold and snowstorms.
Therefore, between one spectacular and panoramic slope and another, we can also expect to see a great “open air” museum with hundreds of war artefacts, communication trenches and tunnels at the edges of the various downhill runs that won’t escape the attentive eye of interested observers.It will be a new experience for visitors and opportunity to combine fun and highly educational history lessons.
