The collection includes personal belongings, uniforms, weapons, and documentary materials that document the lives of the fallen and the military campaigns across this mountain region.
The site was established after World War I to honor soldiers who died in the mountain battles of this Alpine region. It grew from the need to preserve the memory of these troops for future generations.
The site honors fallen soldiers through its layout and design, inviting visitors to reflect on individual lives and their stories. Personal objects and information are arranged to create a human connection rather than presenting abstract military history.
The museum sits on the mountainside and is best reached by the nearby paths, with sturdy footwear recommended due to the steep terrain. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore the displays thoroughly and take in the surrounding landscape.
