Monte Paterno

Description of peak:
Monte Paterno is a 2744 metre high lookout. The view from the top is spectacular on all sides, with the Tri Cine/Tre Cime to the west standing out in particular.

The summit is crowded, as the mountain road leading 2320 metres up to the Auronzo hut shortens the ascent considerably.

Monte Paterno is also known for the tragic events that took place here during the First World War. The most famous is the ascent by the mountain guide Sepp Innerkofler. He attempted to reach the summit via the north ridge, but shortly below the summit he was spotted by Italians who opened fire. He was hit by mountain guide Reno De Luca, who was also a personal friend of Innerkofler. Later in the war, Reno De Luca was also killed. To commemorate this tragic event, the route along the North Ridge was named "Ferrata De Luca-Innerkofler".
