Characteristics

edit

The peak is part of the Malborghetto mountains, and lies close to Italy's borders with Austria and Slovenia. Its summit offers a panorama of Jôf di Montasio, Canin and Jôf Fuart. The eastern mountains of the Carnic Alps are visible.

Jôf di Miezegnot was the site of fierce fighting between Italy and the Austria-Hungary during the First World War and the remains of several structures can be found there, in particular the remains of a village built by the Gemona Alpini Battalion in 1915. Most of the village is ruined but its chapel has been preserved as an alpine bothy for mountaineers.
