Description Details Turn-by-turn directions How to get there

ATTENTION: Snowshoe hikes and ski tours should only be undertaken by experienced and well-trained mountaineers. Always consider the avalanche risk – carrying complete avalanche safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel) is mandatory. Check the avalanche report and weather conditions before every tour. Those without sufficient experience should only join such tours in the company of a certified mountain guide.

The special thing about Hornischeck/ Monte Arnese? You can stand with one foot in Italy and the other in Austria, because the Karnische Kamm/ Cresta Carnica forms the natural state border. The summit offers a unique view of the Sesto sundial and the peaks of the Three Peaks, as well as of the Austrian glacier world and the Comelico.
