The harshness of the mountain environment, far from the contaminations related to the repopulation of agricultural and urban areas that took place after the end of the war, has preserved very well the view of the scattered remains on these two peaks. Here the scars left by the First World War intersect like never fully erased cicatrices with breathtaking alpine landscapes. This destination is suitable for experienced hikers who know how to relate to the mountain and experience it in all its nuances among scree and equipped paths, rewarded by its raw beauty as well as by the direct contact it offers with history.
