Tofana Di Rozes (3,225m) lies west of Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the Italian side of the Dolomites. This is the first mountain that didn't first appeal to me due to its route, but due to its history.

The Tofane mountain range was one of the many locations throughout the Dolomites that saw fierce fighting during World War 1, and as a result of these battles come some of the main challenges of its most famous route. The Giovanni Lipella via Ferrata.

The Giovanni Lipella via Ferrata had us pass through a 500-meter World War 1 tunnel before the actual climbing even began.

Tofana Di Rozes and its famous Via Ferrata should be on the bucket list of every mountaineer. This can be done as a solo climb or as part of a group.
