Uncovering Mystery of the World's Loneliest House Stuck On Side Of Mountain

Who would not want living in an isolated house, perched on the face of a rocky mountain? Astonishingly, about 100 years ago during the World War I, a house was built on Monte Cristallo in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy. Known as "The World's Loneliest House", it is completely isolated from all the noises and crowds one can think of in a city.

Inspired by this peculiar dwelling, the Auronzo Cluba Alpino Italiano (CAI), overseeing hiking trails in the region, erected a contemporary shelter near the Forcella Marmarole pass. This modern refuge, capable of accommodating up to 12 people, was positioned dramatically by a helicopter, creating the illusion of a descent down the mountainside. Adventurers willing to embark on a challenging five-hour journey, partly aided by a ski lift, can explore this spectacular shelter, reminiscent of Buffa di Perrero.
