The complex chain of peaks forming Punte di Fanes and Lagazuoi Grande are breached at the centre by Forcella Grande, a small pass between Cima Fanes Sud and Lagazuoi Nord. This became the logical site for an Austrian artillery position. The history surrounding this area gave Ugo Pompanin and his companions the inspiration to equip Via Ferrata Tomaselli in memory of the eponymous journalist from Cortina. Today the via ferrata is amongst the best in the Dolomites and offers superb climbing, most of which can be done without having to resort to hauling on the wire.
