The First World War in the Dolomites

Italy

.Walking through trenches, tunnels and everlasting stories of suffering.

A trip through the Dolomites is an emotional, traumatic encounter with a recent past. From 1915-1917 the Dolomites were the scene of heavy fighting between Italian and Austrian troops. Often the enemy positions were barely 10 metres apart. But nature was also an enemy: in the war winter of 1916/1917 avalanches alone killed 10,000 soldiers, alpinists and Tyrolean machine-gunners.

Cinque Torri: The command of the Italian mountain artillery was located at the foot of these 5 towers.

The Lagazuoi, also known as the "Castle of the rocks".
