A long and demanding route, a plunge into history in the footsteps of the Great War.
This evocative itinerary leads into a high mountain environment to discover mazes of trenches, emplacements and fortifications. The scenery from Cima Bocche embraces the Lagorai chain, Dolomite massifs such as Latemar, Catinaccio, Sasso Piatto, Sella, Marmolada and Pale di San Martino.
Author’s recommendation
The entire area is rich in traces of the Great War with remains of trenches, barricades, caves, barracks.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

When you reach the mountain station of the Bellamonte 3.0 cableway, take the little path which after a few minutes reaches a forest road. Continue left in the direction of Passo Lusia (2056 m). From the pass, climb up the steep path no. 633 on the slopes of the Lasté to the pass on the ridge, from where you can admire the Lusia lakes from above. Descend slightly in altitude to reach the Redolf Bivouac (2333 m) and, skirting the lake, continue along path no. 633 to meet the second lake. Continue uphill towards Focella di Bocche (2543 m) and then to Cima Bocche (2745 m).
