This collection spans the Carnic Alps along the border of Austria and Italy, featuring high-altitude crossings like the Plöcken Pass and Nassfeld Pass. It includes Monte Coglians, the range's highest peak at 2,780 meters, alongside historically significant sites such as Pal Piccolo and Creta di Timau, which preserve World War I fortifications.
