Galleria del Cannone

Descrizione

At the foot of the Tofana di Rozes, on the west side, is the large, historic Galleria del Cannone.

It was excavated by the Italian army after the conquest of the Castelletto, as a defence post and warehouse, as well as a shelter from the weather and enemy blows.

The vastness of this tunnel is surprising: an underground complex with several windows and loopholes that point to the Val Costeana, the Lagazuoi and the upper Val Travenanzes. Inside there is an old cannon that has been restored and then brought back with the help of a helicopter.

It can be reached by leaving your car at the Rifugio Dibona, on the Passo Falzarego, and taking first path 403 and then path 404 right at the base of the Tofana di Rozes.

Once you leave the Galleria del Castelletto on the right, which climbs with ladders, continue through the debris rubble (poorly marked path), the vent of the explosion of the Castelletto mine, and you reach the Galleria del Cannone.
