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.
Lagazuoi boasts a dual appeal: breathtaking landscapes and a deep historical legacy. The mountain’s location in the Fanes Group offers spectacular views of the Dolomites’ jagged peaks and valleys, including iconic formations like the Marmolada and Tofane ranges. Additionally, Lagazuoi was a pivotal site during World War I, where Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces constructed tunnels for strategic purposes. These tunnels now serve as an open-air museum, providing visitors with a glimpse into the challenging wartime conditions of alpine soldiers.
Trekkers on the Dolomites Guided Traverse can observe Lagazuoi’s rugged landscape and access its summit via the Passo Falzarego cable car. The panoramic views from the top encompass expansive limestone plateaus and surrounding mountain groups. Hiking trails around Lagazuoi offer opportunities to explore the preserved tunnels and historical paths, adding a layer of exploration to the trek.
