Col Quaternà, Mountain summit in Comelico Superiore, Italy
Col Quaternà rises to 2503 meters above sea level in the Carnic Alps, featuring steep slopes and extensive hiking trails throughout the region.
The mountain contains remnants of military roads from World War I, which now form part of the geological trail starting at Malga di Coltrondo.
Pope John Paul II reached the summit of Col Quaternà on July 13, 1987, marking a significant moment in the mountain's modern history.
