Mount Lèmerle, along with nearby Mount Zovetto and the Magnaboschi Valley that separates them, held great historical significance during the First World War, as the scene of two distinct and bloody battles. In the first battle, in June 1916, the Italian army managed to hold off the advancing Austro-Hungarian army for 10 days, which, with the Strafexpedition, was attempting to break through and invade the nearby Veneto plain. The second battle, the Battle of the Solstice, took place in June 1918: this time it was the British troops, who arrived in the spring to garrison and fortify the area in support of their Italian allies, who countered the last desperate attack of the imperial forces.

Today, the mountain's summit is covered in a dense and beautiful forest of tall spruce trees, but during the Great War, Italian engineers had cleared the view to control the entire Asiago basin.

On the slopes of the mountain, in 2016, the remains of an unknown Italian soldier and an Austro-Hungarian soldier who fell nearby were accidentally discovered.
