The Emperor's Staircase is a long staircase of 183 stone steps, built by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1917, in honor of Emperor Charles of Habsburg, who came to visit the front of the Altipiani in the spring of that year.

It allowed you to reach the military hospital of Val Fredda, located a little higher up, climbing along the steep slope in the middle of the woods: it was also called by the soldiers 'stairway of the dead', because it was used to transport the deceased from the hospital to the cemetery of Forte Cherle below.
