Passo Falzarego, a mountain pass between Agordo and Cortina d’Ampezzo, bears the scars of World War I, where it was once a site of intense conflict. Today, it is a popular destination for cyclists and motorcyclists, offering scenic routes along the Great Dolomite Road. The pass is also part of the Giro d’Italia bicycle race, attracting enthusiasts and spectators alike. At the site, a simple chapel serves as a memorial to the historical battles. Visitors can also take a gondola ride to the summit of Mt. Lagazuoi, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
