I can't imagine how the soldiers of both sides could fight here.

During the Great War, the front line of the fighting between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy passed between Sass de Stria and Piccolo Lagazuoi, cutting through the Falzarego Pass area. The Cengia Martini was the most important position in this sector of the front.
While the Austro-Hungarians were entrenched on the summit of Lagazuoi, between 18 and 19 October 1915 two platoons of Alpini occupied the ledge located halfway up the face of Piccolo Lagazuoi.
The occupation had been preceded by numerous reconnaissances on site, across rough and difficult rocky terrain.

Partially restored fortifications from the First World War, which make the tunnels even more tangible.
