one of the symbolic places of the Great War. Bocchetta Portule is a large saddle that separates the Portule massif from Cima dell'Arsenale and Monte Colombarone. It played a crucial role in the Austrian logistical organization from mid-1916 to the end of 1917. Next to the saddle, the Italians had built a battery emplacement in the rock to block the Val d'Assa. But the fire of its pieces was not particularly effective and when the imperials occupied Cima Portule they also took possession of the saddle, equipping it with a wide road, two cableways and drinking water tanks.
