Monte Piana

Monte Piana rises to 2,324 meters with a distinctive flat top, offering views of surrounding peaks including Cristallo and Drei Zinnen mountains.

From 1915 to 1917, Italian forces controlled the southern summit while Austrian troops held the northern peak, resulting in 14,000 military casualties.

The Monte Piana Foundation and Friends of the Dolomites maintain an open-air museum displaying military artifacts and reconstructed trenches from World War I.

Visitors can reach the summit through multiple marked paths, with the most direct route starting from Schluderbach and taking approximately two hours.

The mountain features two distinct summits: Monte Piana at 2,324 meters in the south and Monte Piano at 2,305 meters in the north.
