What you can expect

Visit the original architectural elements of the Fort and discover the main stages of its development and the personalities who marked its history.
Discover the strategic role that the fortress played in the history of the Alps: it was an obstacle, natural barrier, border, territory and political boundary inhabited and experienced, crossed and traversed, defended and fortified.

After this journey in the past, immerse yourself in the Alpine World with the Museum of the Alps.
The Museum is divided into three parts designed to help the visitor learn more about the Alps. The first part presents the main natural and human components of the mountain environment. In the biodiversity room, visitors listen to the sounds of the seasons and observe the climate, the short seasons at high altitude, the plants and the tenacious inhabitants of the highlands. In the geography room, an interactive map forms the flooring for a walk over the Alps back in time to the lava explosions and flow of the sea that created the Dolomites.

The second part focuses on Alpine civilisation. The reconstructions of the stable, the stube and the school tell of a hands-on culture based on work, from the mill to the mine, but it also presents traditional festivals and events.

Lastly, the transformation of the mountain in modern times: from an impervious and inaccessible place to a destination for travellers
