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.

The geological trail takes approximately 90 minutes to reach the saddle at 2379 meters, with clear markers guiding visitors through the terrain.

The mountain stands as a volcanic neck formation, containing some of the oldest rocks in Comelico, including 500-million-year-old phyllites marked with white flint.
