It&#8217;s actually Europe&#8217;s largest open-air museum of the First World War. While Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I used to scramble up hillsides on our own two feet, we now have a little one in tow and have come to truly appreciate the local cable cars. The large gondola up Lagazuoi from Passo Falzarego and the chairlift to Cinque Torri from Bai de Dones are absolute lifesavers when you&#8217;re travelling with a small child (or for anyone with

Both are easily reached by cable car with zero effort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>History everywhere you look:<\/strong> The entire area served as a frontline between Italy and Austria-Hungary during WWI. You&#8217;ll find reconstructed trenches, artillery positions, and tunnels carved into the rock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Best base:<\/strong> Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo, hands down \u2014 it&#8217;s only about 15 minutes by car to the cable car stations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Who is it for:<\/strong> Thanks to the cable cars, this is a perfect destination for families with small children, older visitors, and dog owners. You ride to the top without breaking a sweat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Watch out for the tunnels:<\/strong> The famous Galleria del Lagazuoi (a war tunnel through the rock) is a brutal 600-metre descent in darkness and damp conditions. It&#8217;s absolutely not suitable for children or dogs \u2014 a helmet and headtorch are mandatory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Cinque_Torri_and_Lagazuoi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Cinque_Torri_and_Lagazuoi\">What Are Cinque Torri and Lagazuoi?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get our bearings, we&#8217;re in the Veneto region near the mountain passes of Passo Falzarego and Passo Giau. This is an area that takes your breath away before you even step out of the car, and we bring every visitor who comes to see us in the mountains here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinque Torri \u2014 &#8220;Five Towers&#8221; in English \u2014 is an absolutely iconic rock formation that looks as though it was placed into the landscape from another planet. As the name suggests, it&#8217;s made up of five main massifs, the tallest being Torre Grande, along with Torre Inglese, Romana, Quarta, and Quinta. Rock climbers love these crags, but regular hikers do too, because you can walk around them on comfortable, well-maintained paths. Directly across the valley rises the majestic Mount Lagazuoi, its summit reaching 2,778 metres above sea level, looking like an impregnable stone fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bloody_History_in_Paradise_The_Great_War_1915%E2%80%931918\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bloody_History_in_Paradise_The_Great_War_1915-1918\">Bloody History in Paradise: The Great War 1915\u20131918<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at those lush green meadows and white rock faces, it&#8217;s hard to believe the horrors that unfolded here. Whenever Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I walk among the Cinque Torri, we&#8217;re struck by a profound sense of humility. Between 1915 and 1918, some of the most senseless and brutal battles of the First World War took place on this very ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Lagazuoi was riddled with kilometres of tunnels as Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces tried to undermine each other&#8217;s positions and blow them sky-high. The madness reached its peak in 1917, when the Italians literally detonated a massive mine directly beneath the Austrian positions \u2014 when our guide described it on site, we honestly didn&#8217;t know whether to laugh or cry. At Cinque Torri, you&#8217;ll find reconstructed Italian artillery positions, because the rocks provided perfect cover. Today, the whole area has been beautifully restored and functions as a vast open-air museum with completely free entry, where you can experience for yourself what it must have felt like to huddle in a freezing trench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Visit_and_What_Weather_to_Expect\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Visit_and_What_Weather_to_Expect\">When to Visit and What Weather to Expect<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning a trip to the Dolomites is always a bit of a gamble, because mountain weather does whatever it pleases \u2014 and that very much applies to the dolomites italy weather around Cinque Torri. We always check the webcams in the morning to make sure the summit isn&#8217;t sitting in cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal window for hiking and exploring the museums is from late June to mid-September. If you can, though, avoid August \u2014 and especially the Italian holiday Ferragosto on 15 August. That&#8217;s when half of Italy heads for the mountains; car parks fill up completely and you&#8217;ll queue for ages at the cable cars. We personally love early September, when the weather is usually more settled, the air is crystal clear, and the autumn sun paints the rocks in incredible shades of gold and pink \u2014 an absolute dream for photography. In the dolomites italy winter, the entire area transforms into a brilliant ski destination within the Cinque Torri ski area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_the_Cable_Cars_and_Where_to_Park\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_the_Cable_Cars_and_Where_to_Park\">How to Get to the Cable Cars and Where to Park<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting around this part of the Dolomites is fairly straightforward, especially if you have a car \u2014 which we&#8217;d say is pretty much essential. If you&#8217;re flying in from the UK, the nearest airports are Venice Marco Polo or Treviso, both roughly a two-hour drive away. We can heartily recommend the comparison site <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/rentalcars-com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DiscoverCars.com<\/a> for sorting out your hire car \u2014 it&#8217;s what we use everywhere we travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re heading to Lagazuoi, your destination is the Passo Falzarego pass, where there&#8217;s a large car park right by the bottom station of the big gondola. If you&#8217;re aiming for Cinque Torri, you&#8217;ll stop a few hairpin bends lower down at Bai de Dones, where the chairlift begins. Parking at both spots is usually paid \u2014 expect roughly 5 to 10 EUR per day. Bring cash, as the card machines occasionally play up. During the main summer season, a reliable bus (number 27) also runs from Cortina directly to Passo Falzarego, which is a great alternative if you fancy a glass of wine with lunch or simply want to skip the parking stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_Nearby_and_How_Much_It_Costs\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_Nearby_and_How_Much_It_Costs\">Where to Stay Nearby and How Much It Costs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our long-standing favourite base for this area is <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/cortina-dampezzo-nase-hlavni-base-v-dolomitech-a-kompletni-pruvodce\/\">Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo<\/a>. It&#8217;s only about 15 minutes by car to the cable cars, you can stroll through the gorgeous town centre packed with boutiques and caf\u00e9s in the evening, and there&#8217;s excellent infrastructure whether you&#8217;re after luxury or something more modest.

A happy middle ground are the apartments scattered around the Falzarego pass itself. There&#8217;s not exactly a buzzing nightlife up there, but you&#8217;ll be first in line at the cable car in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Best places to stay in Cortina:<\/strong> We can wholeheartedly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=cinque-torri&amp;hotelname=Hotel%20de%20la%20Poste&amp;address=Cortina%20d&#039;Ampezzo,%20Italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel de la Poste<\/a> right in the centre, which oozes historic charm, or the more upscale <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=cinque-torri&amp;hotelname=Rosapetra%20SPA%20Resort&amp;address=Cortina%20d&#039;Ampezzo,%20Italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Rosapetra SPA Resort<\/a> if you fancy some post-hike pampering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Things_to_See_and_Do_at_Cinque_Torri_and_Lagazuoi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Things_to_See_and_Do_at_Cinque_Torri_and_Lagazuoi\">10 Things to See and Do at Cinque Torri and Lagazuoi<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This really isn&#8217;t a place you can just drive through and tick off.

You step into the big red gondola at Passo Falzarego and in under three minutes you&#8217;re whisked up to an incredible 2,778 metres above sea level. It&#8217;s fast, steep, and for our little Jon\u00e1\u0161ek it was his first big mountain adventure \u2014 he watched the whole thing wide-eyed from his baby carrier. At the top, you find yourself in a world of rock and ice where even in August you might need a down jacket. You can buy tickets online too; find more info on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagazuoi.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official Lagazuoi cable car website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we first stepped out at the top with our little one, we immediately appreciated the barrier-free access right up to the viewing platform. Don&#8217;t hesitate to bring grandma along \u2014 the ride is incredibly smooth and the views over the Ampezzo valley are truly worth it, even if you&#8217;re not much of a mountaineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Galleria_del_Lagazuoi_For_the_Brave_Only\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Galleria_del_Lagazuoi_For_the_Brave_Only\">2.

The tunnels carved into the heart of the mountain by Italian soldiers are a breathtaking feat of engineering, but this is absolutely not a casual stroll. It&#8217;s a descent of over 600 metres through solid rock, down steep, wet steps made of iron and stone, with water dripping everywhere and pitch blackness all around. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I did it years ago and it took us nearly three hours. It&#8217;s for fit adults ONLY \u2014 completely unsuitable for dogs, and small children are rightly not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do decide to go for it, make sure you hire a proper helmet and headtorch at the bottom cable car station or at the rifugio. The steps are incredibly slippery and you&#8217;ll be grateful for every solid handhold. But that feeling when you finally emerge back into the sunlight? Absolutely priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Views_from_Rifugio_Lagazuoi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Views_from_Rifugio_Lagazuoi\">3.

The terrace is legendary. Sit down with a hot tea and gaze into the distance, and you&#8217;ll have the glaciated Marmolada, the Sella massif, and nearby Tofana spread out before you like a relief map. On a clear day, you can supposedly see all the way to Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We usually spend at least an hour here, because you simply can&#8217;t tear yourself away from those views. Inside the hut there&#8217;s heating, and on cooler days it fills with the smell of hearty food and coffee \u2014 making it the perfect refuge when the sky suddenly clouds over and that icy mountain wind kicks in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Chairlift_to_Cinque_Torri\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Chairlift_to_Cinque_Torri\">4.

The ride is wonderfully relaxing \u2014 you float gently above the trees as the rock towers gradually grow larger before your eyes. Dogs are welcome on board too; our K\u00e1ja and Baby had no issues at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The staff at the chairlift are usually incredibly helpful \u2014 they assisted us getting on even with a baby strapped to Luk\u00e1\u0161&#8217;s chest in a carrier. The whole ride is pure bliss for the soul: peace and quiet everywhere, the forest rustling below, and already in the distance you can see the five majestic stone fingers towering above you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Open-Air_Museum_at_the_Five_Towers\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Open-Air_Museum_at_the_Five_Towers\">5.

You can freely wander through reconstructed trenches and peer into shelters where original cannons and firing positions are still preserved. Entry is completely free, and the whole area is brilliantly explained on information boards \u2014 so even Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I, who don&#8217;t exactly study history on a daily basis, quickly understood the full picture.

The trenches are quite narrow in places, so you have to squeeze through a bit, but thankfully everything is safely reinforced and you can manage it perfectly well even in trainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Panoramas_from_Rifugio_Nuvolau\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Panoramas_from_Rifugio_Nuvolau\">6.

The path is a bit steeper and rocky, but you can manage it in decent trainers or proper <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/boty-do-hor\/\">hiking boots<\/a>.

Via Ferrata for Experienced Mountaineers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I came here back in our carefree pre-baby days specifically for the via ferratas, and this area is an absolute paradise for them. If you&#8217;re travelling without a little one, definitely try the route that leads directly through the Galleria Lagazuoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular route takes you not only along exposed ledges with mind-blowing views, but also partly through the mountain&#8217;s interior \u2014 so you get that historical dimension first-hand. Just please don&#8217;t underestimate it: afternoon thunderstorms are common here in summer, so always set off as early as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Winter_Fun_and_Dolomiti_Superski\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Winter_Fun_and_Dolomiti_Superski\">10. Winter Fun and Dolomiti Superski<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we were here in summer this time, Cinque Torri is an absolute paradise in winter too. The whole area is connected to Cortina&#8217;s ski network, and you can pick up a combined pass on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dolomitisuperski.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dolomiti Superski<\/a> website. The pistes run right beneath those enormous rock towers, and when the winter sun hits them, it&#8217;s an experience you&#8217;ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skiing among these rocky giants has a strange, almost mystical atmosphere that can&#8217;t be compared to your typical overcrowded resorts. The local runs are usually beautifully wide and perfectly groomed, so even recreational skiers will find their sweet spot and can carve away until sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cinque_Torri_and_Lagazuoi_with_Kids\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cinque_Torri_and_Lagazuoi_with_Kids\">Cinque Torri and Lagazuoi with Kids<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling with children to the mountains always raises a lot of questions \u2014 I know that all too well now. Honestly, we were a bit worried about how Jon\u00e1\u0161ek would cope, but it turned out to be unnecessary. The cable cars handle the worst of the climbing for you, and you reach the top without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The open-air museum at the Five Towers is a genuine adventure for older kids. They can safely run through the trenches (under your supervision, of course, so they don&#8217;t trip on the rocks) and explore the bunkers. At Rifugio Scoiattoli there&#8217;s also a lovely outdoor playground where Jon\u00e1\u0161ek enjoyed his first Italian mountain sand on his hands, while we soaked up the views. Just don&#8217;t forget to pack warm layers for the little ones \u2014 the wind above two thousand metres can be bitterly cold even in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat\">Where to Eat<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High-altitude hiking wouldn&#8217;t be the same without proper food \u2014 let&#8217;s be honest. And the local mountain cuisine will surprise you, because the Dolomites are still just a stone&#8217;s throw from Austria, and the menus make that abundantly clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Rifugio Lagazuoi:<\/strong> They make an absolutely phenomenal wild goat stew here that melts on the tongue \u2014 you simply have to try it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Traditional mountain huts in the area:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re after something more traditional, treat yourself to a hearty portion of polenta baked with local cheese or Tyrolean dumplings (canederli).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Local Ampezzo wine:<\/strong> And because we&#8217;re in Italy, wine is a must \u2014 order a glass of the local stuff with lunch. After a day in the fresh mountain air, it tastes like nectar of the gods. Just don&#8217;t overdo it if you still need to drive back down to the valley. \ud83d\ude01<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Tips_Prices_and_Things_to_Watch_Out_For\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Tips_Prices_and_Things_to_Watch_Out_For\">Practical Tips, Prices, and Things to Watch Out For<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure nothing catches you off guard, we&#8217;ve put together a few practical tips \u2014 most of which we learned the hard way. Italy can be surprisingly strict about rules, and a bit of preparation goes a long way. If you don&#8217;t have travel insurance sorted, have a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/safetywing-travel-insurance-review\/\">travel insurance article<\/a>, because trust us \u2014 you do not want to pay for a helicopter rescue out of the Dolomites. And don&#8217;t forget about mobile data; we recommend grabbing an <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Holafly\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/holafly\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">eSIM from Holafly<\/a> beforehand so you can translate Italian signs on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Cable car prices:<\/strong> A return ticket on the Lagazuoi gondola costs around 30 EUR, while the Cinque Torri chairlift comes to roughly 15 EUR. For flights to Italy (ideally Venice or Treviso), we usually search on Kiwi \u2014 it&#8217;s our go-to flight comparison site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Galleria del Lagazuoi:<\/strong> If you do decide to tackle the tunnel descent, you MUST have a helmet and a strong light. You can hire them at the entrance (or at the bottom cable car station) for around 5 EUR. And remember, children are officially only permitted from the age of 8.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Leave your drone at home:<\/strong> Luk\u00e1\u0161 was gutted about this (poor thing), but there&#8217;s a strict no-fly zone across the entire area, as it sits within a protected national park and UNESCO natural heritage site. Fines can reach up to 3,000 EUR, so those aerial shots will have to wait.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Else_to_Go_in_the_Dolomites\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Else_to_Go_in_the_Dolomites\">Where Else to Go in the Dolomites<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more time in the area, definitely check out our other articles from the region, because Cinque Torri and Lagazuoi are just the beginning of all the mountain riches the Dolomites Italy have to offer.

So we&#8217;ve rounded up the most common questions our friends ask when we send them here.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_to_Cinque_Torri\"><\/span>How do I get to Cinque Torri?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The easiest route is from Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo along the winding road toward Passo Falzarego. Park your car at the Bai de Dones parking lot and from there take the chairlift straight up, which only takes a few minutes and costs around 15 EUR per person.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_see_around_Cortina_dAmpezzo\"><\/span>What should I see around Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Besides Cinque Torri and Mount Lagazuoi, definitely visit the stunning Lago di Sorapis, which has an absolutely incredible turquoise color, head to Tre Cime di Lavaredo, or explore Passo Giau, which offers beautiful views.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_dogs_allowed_on_the_cable_cars\"><\/span>Are dogs allowed on the cable cars?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, they&#8217;ll let you bring dogs on both the Lagazuoi gondola and the Cinque Torri chairlift without any problems. Our dogs K\u00e1ja and Baby managed it several times. Just make sure you have a leash with you, and for larger breeds, it&#8217;s better to bring a muzzle as well to keep other passengers comfortable.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_find_a_Cinque_Torri_webcam\"><\/span>Where can I find a Cinque Torri webcam?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can find live webcam feeds to check the weather on the official Dolomiti Superski website or on the Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo portal. Always check them before leaving your accommodation, because it might be sunny down below while thick fog sits up top.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_an_entrance_fee_for_the_WWI_museum\"><\/span>Is there an entrance fee for the WWI museum?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, the entire outdoor museum around the Five Towers and the tunnels on Mount Lagazuoi are freely accessible with no entrance fee. You basically only pay for transportation to get there, meaning the cable car and possibly parking.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_walk_through_the_Lagazuoi_tunnels_with_children\"><\/span>Can you walk through the Lagazuoi tunnels with children?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, the descent through the dark, wet, and steep tunnels (Galleria del Lagazuoi) is only permitted for children over 8 years old, and it&#8217;s definitely not a pleasant walk. For younger children, just show them the open-air trenches at Cinque Torri.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779783506006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_via_ferrata_equipment_at_Cinque_Torri\"><\/span>Do I need via ferrata equipment at Cinque Torri?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on what you&#8217;re planning to do. If you just want to walk among the rocks and admire the trenches, regular hiking gear and good boots are enough. But if you&#8217;re planning to climb the towers themselves or tackle secured routes, then a harness, climbing gear, and helmet are absolutely essential.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cinque Torri and Lagazuoi are Europe&#8217;s largest open-air WWI museum and one of the most accessible destinations in the Dolomites Italy \u2014 both reachable by cable car.
