Christomannos Eagle Monument

The Christomannos eagle is a large artistic work in bronze, dedicated to Theodor Christomannos, the Austrian considered one of the pioneers of tourism in the Dolomites. It is a majestic eagle about three meters high positioned in a wonderful panoramic point: from here, in fact, at an altitude of 2,300 metres, you can see a beautiful piece of Val di Fassa and above all the Pale di San Martino and the Marmolada in all their beauty.

The Christomannos monument in the shape of a bronze eagle was dedicated to the South Tyrolean politician and tourist pioneer Theodor Christomannos (1854 -1911). The influential politician viewed the economic development of South Tyrol as his life's work. As an enthusiastic climber and mountaineer, he dedicated himself in particular to alpine tourism and also to the expansion of the transport network.

This striking bronze eagle is reminiscent of Dr. Theodor Christomannos, a passionate mountaineer and pioneer, who played a decisive role in the tourist development of this area. His life's work was the expansion of the famous Dolomite Road from Welschnofen to Cortina.
