With a break in the Italian front in Caporetto, Monte Grappa became the first battle line of the mountain sector between Brenta and Piave. After a dramatic retreat, the Italian troops reached the Grappa.

The refuge has a restaurant with seating capacity of around 250 with a panoramic view of the Veneto plain and the Dolomites, a bar and a room for packed lunches.

The geographical location of Mount Grappa close to the Venetian plain makes it a particularly rich area, both in terms of flora and vegetation.
