Tips
The summit cross on Monte Piana stands on the southern summit (2,324 m). It marks one of the most important vantage points in the Dolomites and is also a symbol of remembrance, as the entire plateau was a heavily contested front-line area during World War I. Around the cross are trenches, emplacements, and bunkers, which are now part of the Monte Piana Open-Air Museum. From here, a magnificent panorama of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the Paternkofel, Cristallo, Sorapiss, and the Cadini Group opens up.
