Col Quaternà

Col Quaternà, Mountain summit in Comelico Superiore, Italy

Col Quaternà is a mountain summit in the Carnic Alps that rises to 2503 meters above sea level. The area features multiple hiking routes and diverse terrain across the surrounding region.

This peak formed as a volcanic neck and contains some of the oldest rock formations in the area. Its current trails partly follow ancient military roads built during World War I.

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 main hiking route to the saddle takes about 90 minutes and is clearly marked throughout. Visitors should bring weather-appropriate gear and be prepared for mountain conditions.

The rock formations here include phyllites that are up to 500 million years old and marked with white flint. These exceptional stones make this peak interesting for those curious about geology.
