World War I observatory operated by officers of the 36th Mountain Artillery Regiment.
Next to it there is a shelter cave which was used during the bombings.

It is a small building which now offers protection for 2 - 3 people, but this functioned as an observation post during the Great War. From the small windows you can easily observe the mountains to the east, the northern flank of the Montasch and the Val Saisera valley below, which was then the border with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
