In the 1900s, a bear trap which still survives to this day was built on the Panider Sattel/Passo Pinei. To lure the bear into the pit, a sheep or goat was tied to a nearby stake; the pit was covered over with branches or twigs such that, on approaching its prey, the bear would fall into the pit and be unable to escape.

And for an extra bonus: The 360° view over the Schlern and the Seiser Alm, Tiosels, the Val Gardena/Gröden Valley, Ritten and the Ortles in the distance.
