WWI History

cortina italy

This region of Italy was the theater of some of the bloodiest and most pointless battles of WWI between the Austrian and Italian armies. In the surrounding mountains, large numbers of troops lived and fought for years while gains were never more than feet. The area is now home to some of the best-preserved relics of the Great War due not only to their inaccessibility but also the region's harsh winter climate. Historical visits can be arranged in both winter (via cross country skiing) and summer (by hiking).
