Monte Rite, Mountain summit in Province of Belluno, Italy
Monte Rite rises to 2183 meters in elevation, featuring multiple hiking paths that wind through the steep terrain of the Italian Dolomites mountain range.
During World War I, the Italian military constructed a strategic fortification at the summit, building a road and defensive structures between 1912 and 1914.
The Messner Mountain Museum, established at the mountain peak, displays exhibitions about the geology and mountaineering heritage of the Dolomites region.
The unpaved military road to Monte Rite stretches 6.2 kilometers from Passo Cibiana, with vehicle access restricted from late October through early July.
The mountain fort has been transformed into one of Europe's highest museums, offering visitors a 360-degree view of the surrounding Dolomite peaks.
