Memorable pages of history have been written on the Dolomites, in particular during the First World War, which saw the Val di Fassa right by the front which from the Marmolada used to touch the Val di Fassa along its whole length, threatening from the heights of Costabella, Juribrutto and Cima Bocche. Today there are numerous itineraries and routes which lead to trenches and lookout posts where traces of the global conflict are clearly visible, traces which for the most part, with the help of careful research and historical reconstruction, are being revived in mobile exhibitions and small museums (including private ones). The numerous objects, equipment, relics, arms, munitions and more on display lead you to dip into the past to understand the epic struggle of Italian and Austrian soldiers who found themselves embroiled in the most extraordinary of battles fought high up on the rocks and ice. The Marmolada Museum, the highest in Europe at 2.950m and set in the Serauta cable car station, invites you to remember and honour, impartially and aside from all political and national ideologies, all the men, on the ice, in the freezing cold and in the dark tunnels, who fought bravely, suffered and died for their country. In the Great War Museum, recently renovated, you can find a lot of relics, photos, arms and munitions of the First World War.
