One of the most beautiful excursions in the Ampezzo Dolomites of Cortina.
This suggestive winter walk with snowshoes stands out for its accessibility and the modest variation in altitude, while guaranteeing safety from possible avalanches thanks to the favorable morphology of the terrain. The first phase of the route offers an extraordinary panorama that embraces the Tofane, the Cinque Torri and the Lagazuoi, while arriving at the Averau refuge, the gaze opens onto a vast view that ranges from the Marmolada to the Cristallo: Pale di San Martino, Civetta and Sorapis .
In addition to the unique beauty of the landscape, this place is steeped in history, as many battles took place here during the Great War. Along the itinerary, it is possible to explore various testimonies of those years, such as the open-air museum of the Cinque Torri, where stone walkways and trenches wind their way. In the Cinque Torri area, the Command of the Italian mountain artillery group was established, with the general staff and command at Averau, from which various observers directed the war operations from the other side of the valley.
In 1915, eight 75 mm guns were deployed, to which were added in 1916 two 149G howitzers. In September 1917, a powerful 210 mm howitzer was placed, aimed at the Austrian positions of Lagazuoi, Col dei Boss and Valon Tofana. During the conflict, King Vittorio Emanuele III visited the area several times, leaving tangible evidence of the presence and strategic importance of these places during the Great War.
