Monte Elmo (Helm in German) is located in Versciaco in South Tyrol (Italy), at the border to East Tyrol (Austria). It delimits the Carnic Main Crest in the west.

On the 2,433-m high summit the remains of the rifugio Monte Elmo hut are still visible. They mark the starting or end point of the Alta Via Carnica, a 155-km long high-altitude path leading across the Carnic Main Crest and past 9 mountain huts. On the summit you can also spot the rests of military buildings dating back to World War 1 (1915-1918) when the Austrian and Italian troops fought right here.

The ski lifts take you almost up to the summit either from Sesto (until an altitude of 2,052 m) or from Versciaco (until 2,045 metres of altitude). The last few hundred metres of elevation gain can be covered along a military road. The mountain can be ascended starting from Sillian as well. Monte Elmo with its characteristic round top turns into a skiing area with perfectly prepared ski slopes in winter.
