Unterhalb der Cima di Morissolo befinden sich Befestigungsanlagen der Linea Cadorna, einer Verteidigungslinie aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg.

Die Linea Cadorna wurde von 1916 bis 1918 entlang der Grenze Italiens zu der Schweiz errichtet, um eine Invasion der Deutschen zu verhinden. Die Verteidigungslinie wurde jedoch nie genutzt. Zwischen Ossola in Richtung Veltlin liegen Befestigungen auf 72 km. Entlang der Verteidigungslinie befanden sich 88 Artilleriestellungen, die durch ca. 300 km Straßen und 400 km Karrenwege und Saumpfade verbunden und zu erreichen waren. Bis zu 30.000 Frauen und Männer arbeiteten an der Konstruktion. Die Beobachtungsposten, Tunnel und Geschützstellungen wurden nach dem Armeegeneral Luigi Cadorna benannt, der die Errichtung beauftragte.

Später dienten die Befestigungsanlagen als Rückzugsort der italienischen Partisanen. Heute ist die Linea Cardona ein faszinierendes Zeugnis der italienischen Geschichte und Teil des Militär-Tourismus. Entlang der ehemaligen Verteidigungslinie trifft man immer noch auf Schützengräben, Kavernen, zerfallende Gebäude und auch Infotafeln zu den Befestigungen. Als Besichtigungshighlight in Norditalien wurde der historisch-kulturelle Wert der Linie durch das Gesetz anerkannt.

Unterhalb der Cima di Morissolo befinden sich beeindruckende unterirdische Festungsanlagen, die frei besichtigt werden können. In der Regel durch Bewegungsmelder beleuchtet, ist das Mitbringen einer Taschenlampe dennoch sinnvoll. Die in den Felsen gehauenen Tunnel und der Beobachtungsstand auf dem Monte Morissolo zählen zu den beliebtesten Abschnitten der Linea Cardona. Hier gibt es auch eine Infotafel zu den Befestigungen.

The Cadorna Line was built during the 1st World War but was never used for war purposes. Today it is a splendid scenic route.
