The Marmolada is the highest mountain group of the Dolomites, unique mountains in the world declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This route combines a pleasant and not too demanding climb on ice with the descent along the imposing west edge of the Queen up to Forcella Marmolada. The climb starts from 2074, just above the arrival point of the lift; from here begins the icy ramp. An evident rocky channel has recently been equipped with a fixed metal rope to reach the top. Once you reach the ridge, it’s time to tackle the so-called “back de mul”, an ice corridor that leads to the summit. A few meters below Punta Penia (3343 m), the main peak of the Marmolada, you can enjoy an indescribable view of all the Eastern Alps; towards the west, an evident gravel edge descends towards the rocky bastion of the corner until it reaches the Forcella Marmolada (2896 meters).

The road is a true masterpiece of military engineering, the works began on February 6, 1917, and were completed in November 1917. The road winds between Bocchetta Campiglia (1.216m) and the Porte del Pasubio (1.930m) crossing the slope southern part of the mountain, characterized by Spiers, deep gorges, and rocky walls. It is 6.5 km long, 2.3 of which are divided into 52 tunnels dug into the rock: each tunnel is numbered and has its own name. Its realization was a great revelation, as it allowed the communication and the passage of supplies from the Italian rear to the summit area of the Pasubio, where the first line ran.
