During the First World War, soldiers of the Italian front built an intricate system of tunnels which, starting near the "Cengia Martini", led to the "Lagazuoi Forepeak", in order to undermine the Austrian enemy positions.
In addition to this, they also built: a "shoulder" tunnel that emerged outside near the Forepeak, a tunnel to contain all artillery, a spiral tunnel, a lower branch leading to Cengia Martini and finally, a horizontal branch that allowed connection to the combat position at Cengia Martini. The branch constituting the Italian mine tunnel was blown up on June 20, 1917.
The Lagazuoi Tunnel was fully restored between 1997 and 2004 and opened to visitors: today it is an atypical via ferrata that allows safe passage through over 1 km of the "Small Lagazuoi" interior. The route is fully equipped with a steel cable and does not present particular difficulties. Damp and dark, it is only lit for short stretches by the few spectacular slits carved into the rock.
Departure from the Lagazuoi cable car with trails 402 and 401 until reaching the Lagazuoi panoramic terrace. The return for the first 2 km is along the tunnels that start at the top of the cable car. The use of a helmet and a headlamp is mandatory. Equipment rental is available at Falzarego Pass at the cable car station.
