The military site of "Le Buse", consisting of 17 buildings arranged in a semicircle as well as artillery positions, trenches and walkways, is located on a wide flat area reached by following the route of the Valle dei Vitelli which starts from the hairpin bend before the Second Cantoniera of Stelvio. It dates back to the First World War and is one of many testimonies of soldiers' life at high altitude. It has been subject to conservation maintenance by the staff of Stelvio National Park.
