Rifugio Sorgenti del Piave (Sources of Piave)

Rifugio Sorgenti del Piave (Sources of Piave)
The Sella of the Col Caneva between the south-western slopes of the Col Caneva and Mt.
Peralba is the point of connection between the Group of Peralba and that of Rinaldo, and
between Val and Val Sesis Visdende. This Sella is the source of the Piave river sacred to the
country for its historical importance derived from the events of the First World War.
Near the source there is a bar restaurant, just called Sources of the Piave (1830m), open
throughout the summer.
The Sella is dominated by walls of Peralba, but a short walk to the Col Caneva (1939m)
broadens the horizons.
How to get here

Sesis, after passing a series of bends at the Piani del Cristo (Restaurant at 1410m) and 1.5 km
below the Pian delle Bombarde (Rhododendron Hut at 1468m). After a long stretch of the
valley opens up the vision of M. Chiadenis and M. Peralba and, continuing to get the fork to the
