Obligatory passage point to go up to Ortigara. Small structure once used as an emergency shelter by shepherds on the mountain pastures, now no longer

The Baito dell'Ortigara, located at the center of the Vallone dell'Agnellizza, the wide valley between Mount Ortigara and Cima Caldiera, was originally a small, basic shelter for shepherds, used for many decades in the 20th century. Today, its function is to provide shelter for hikers in case of sudden bad weather.

It already existed during the Great War, appearing on maps and military communications as a landmark, as there were no other reference points in this barren area. During the conflict, it was a risky but necessary passage for Italian troops assaulting Mount Ortigara: completely exposed to Austro-Hungarian artillery, it was nicknamed "Vallone della Morte" (Valley of Death) by the Alpine troops due to its high level of risk.
