Description of mountain:
Monte Paterno is a 2744-meter-high panoramic peak. From the top, there is a breathtaking view in all directions, especially the Tre Cime to the west.
The peak is massively visited because the mountain road takes you up to 2320 meters to the Auronzo hut, significantly shortening the ascent.
Monte Paterno is also known for tragic events that occurred here during World War I. The most famous is the ascent of the mountain guide Sepp Innerkofler. He tried to reach the peak via the northern ridge, but just below the summit, the Italians spotted him and started shooting. He was hit by the mountain guide Reno De Luca, who was also Innerkofler's personal friend. Later during the war, Reno De Luca also fell. In memory of this tragic event, the path along the northern ridge was named "Ferrata De Luca-Innerkofler".
