Helm, Mountain summit at Carnic Alps border between Sexten, Italy and Sillian, Austria
Monte Elmo reaches an elevation of 2,433 meters, marking the westernmost peak of the Carnic Alps Main Ridge that extends for 140 kilometers.
The mountain hut constructed in 1891 became a military post during World War I, serving Austrian forces before falling into disrepair after the conflict.
The summit cross installed in 1953 by European boy scouts represents the transformation of this former military zone into an international recreational area.
Two modern cable cars provide direct access to the mountain, operating from Versciaco and Sesto, reaching altitudes of 2,052 and 2,045 meters respectively.
The mountain features 21 kilometers of prepared ski slopes in winter, while summer reveals extensive remnants of World War I fortifications along hiking paths.
