Tips

Bernd 🌲🦌🍄🥾

November 10, 2024

The Helm mountain is located directly on the border between Austria (East Tyrol) and Italy (South Tyrol). On its summit, the ruins of the former Helmhütte (helm hut) are visible from afar. Numerous remnants of military installations from the mountain warfare of 1915 to 1918 can still be found in the surrounding area.

Next to the crumbling ruins of the old Helmhaus, where construction work is currently underway (as of August 2025), stands a simple yet powerful summit cross. The vertical beam appears to grow directly out of the pile of stones—as if it were a part of the mountain itself. A figure of Christ hangs from it, whose serene expression causes every passerby to pause. Its half-open eyes gaze toward the border between Italy and Austria—as if silently watching over the land.

An easily accessible and panoramic summit with a unique blend of nature, panorama, and history, it's ideal as an entry point to the Carnic High Route, for day trips with panoramic views, or even for a first alpine experience with cable car assistance.
