Cima Cauriol from Val Sadole 

Discovering Cima Cauriol: excursion among panoramas and war memories.
The excursion takes us to the top of Monte Cauriol, at an altitude of 2493 metres. From here the show is wonderful and the view spans 360 degrees over the Dolomites, the Lagorai Group and Cima d'Asta.
Intense fighting took place on this majestic mountain during the First World War, due to the proximity of the border between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Kingdom of Italy. In 1916, the Italian army launched a violent attack which ended on 27 August with the conquest of the Cauriol peak. This clash caused many victims on both sides, bringing a victory of mostly symbolic value for the Italians.
In 1917, with the defeat of Caporetto, the peak returned to the hands of the Habsburgs.
Traces of barracks, trenches and walkways survive along the itinerary, silent testimonies of those days of war. We chose to walk the Via Italiana uphill and the Via Austriaca downhill, following in the footsteps of those historic times.
In the Baita Monte Cauriol Refuge, in addition to rest and refreshment, you can visit a small museum with numerous artifacts related to the war period, to better understand the history of this place.
