At the same time, for attentive observers, the path presents itself as an enrichment for the soul, a silent bit of happiness in an increasingly loud world. Even though its total length is two kilometers (a mile and a quarter), at many places there is a clear view on the former Gais scree cone, on the village itself with its Romanesque church, and on the facing hill on which the majestic remnants of the Chela-Kehlburg fortress stands.

The Open Air Museum on the Monte Piano of the First World War  is one of the most important witness of the battles between Austria and Italy in the years 1915-1917. It consists of trench warfares, tunnels and emplacements.

Since the border between Italy and the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria-Hungary ran right through Monte Piana, both sides wanted to hold onto this strategically important mountain. A bloody trench warfare lasting two years followed, which was ultimately not to bring about any decisive change.
