The ruggedness of this mountain terrain, far from the contaminations of post-war territorial and urban renewal, has preserved the view of the scattered remains on these two peaks very well. Here, the scars left by the First World War cross the breathtaking mountain landscape like scars that have never fully healed. This is a destination for experienced hikers who, on scree trails and fully-equipped pathways, understand how to approach the mountain and its harshness in order to appreciate and enjoy all its nuances and be rewarded by the raw beauty and direct contact with history that this itinerary provides.
