Families from Innervillgraten, Tyrol, established settlements near Monte Siera over a millennium ago, seeking new pastures for their livestock.

On clear days from the summit area you can see neighboring peaks and gaze far toward the Adriatic coast. This panoramic view rewards climbers and provides landmarks for those familiar with the alpine region.
