About
Monte Piana is a 2,324-metre (7,625 ft) mountain in the Sexten Dolomites, on the border between the provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno. The smaller northern summit is named Monte Piano (2,305 m).
During the White War in World War I, the mountain was heavily contested between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies. The Austrians held the northern summit, Monte Piano, while the Italians held the southern summit, Monte Piana. Many remnants of the fighting can still be found on both summits today.
