The fortifications directly in the mountain below the summit belong to the so-called "Linea Cadorna". These were built along the northern border of Italy during the First World War. However, never used because Switzerland behaved neutrally.

Definitely take a strong flashlight with you if you want to go into the caves or catacombs. A little adventure for children.

If you follow the military road towards the summit, you will automatically reach the positions. These are freely accessible for everyone to visit. The iron gates can only be closed because of the animals and seem closed at first. Inside the positions there are also light switches, so that a visit in the dark is not necessary.
