"There is no other place in the Alps where the peaks of a particular mountain group stand so directly and completely as here, the peaks of the Sesto Dolomites, so clear and uncluttered that you can walk through them with your eyes, so to speak, before you actually set foot on them".
What Karl Springerschmid wrote a few decades ago is still valid today.

Directions
From the mountain station of the Helmjet Sexten, a sandy road leads up a pleasant incline to the Hahnspielhü+tte and in a wide arc out to the south-west ridge of the Helm. Turn left here and zigzag along the rugged ridge directly to the summit of the Helm with the former customs house and a great panorama. The onward route to the Sillianer Hütte and on to Hornischegg is also clearly visible, mostly on the "Karnischer Höhenweg".

How to get there
By bus or car to Sesto Monte Elmo. From there, take the Helmjet Sesto cable car to the mountain station.
