The spring flows from Mount Peralba and its fresh, clear water is collected in a source of stones and rocks, immersed in nature, on which a monument stands out bearing the inscription "Here the Piave is born", it is easily reachable from Sappada with the paved road or from Val Visdende with a fairly challenging path (S1/S2) with numerous hairpin bends

Hiking

In Sappada, don't miss the Piave Springs, located at 1,830 meters in the Sesis Valley, at the foot of Mount Peralba. Hikes to various peaks depart from here. The area, accessible to all, offers stunning Alpine landscapes, flower-filled pastures, and trails through nature and history.
