Introducing the Alpine Marvel of Lagazuoi

Lagazuoi, standing at 2,835 metres above sea level, is one of the most striking and historically significant peaks in the Dolomites. Known for its panoramic views and extensive World War I tunnels, this geographic feature combines natural grandeur with a fascinating historical narrative, making it an essential highlight of the Dolomites Guided Traverse with Salamander Adventures.

Exploring Lagazuoi’s Unique Features

These tunnels now serve as an open-air museum, providing visitors with a glimpse into the challenging wartime conditions of alpine soldiers.
