Creta di Timau, Mountain summit in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.

The Creta di Timau mountain reaches 2,218 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes that descend sharply toward the town of Timau.

During World War I, the mountain served as a frontline position, with numerous military paths and fortifications still visible along its slopes.

The mountain's name derives from Celtic origins, meaning water, reflecting its connection to the nearby Fontanon water source that shaped local traditions.

The eastern ridge provides the most accessible climbing route to the summit, with the Ricovero Casera Pramosio Alta shelter offering accommodation for mountaineers.

The mountain's geological composition includes 400-million-year-old Devonian limestone formations that create its distinctive rocky landscape.

Elevation above the sea: 2,218 m
