Cadini di Misurina (Ciadìs de Meśorìna in Ladin) is a group of mountains in the eastern Dolomites in the Province of Belluno, Italy. These mountains rise to the west of Auronzo di Cadore, north-east of Cortina d'Ampezzo and south of Dobbiaco, in a position overlooking Lake Misurina. They are part of the Dolomites subsection of Sesto, of Braies, and of Ampezzo, and belong to the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore. The highest peak is the Cima Cadin of San Lucano (2.839 m a.s.l.).

 

The term Cadini derives from the Cadorino dialect ''ciadìn'' which translates into valleys, and refers to the labyrinthian structure of the massif.

 

Description

 

The mountain range is crossed by the Alta Via n. 4 path and from the equipped Alberto Bonacossa path, which starts from the southern shore of the lake and reaches the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The particular geomorphology that distinguishes and so deeply characterizes the Cadini di Misurina, however, allows to cross the group by various lines so that, going up and down from their forks, it becomes possible to enjoy the dolomitic paradise that surrounds them. The equipped path Giovanni Durissini allows for example to complete the complete tour of the branch of San Lucano. It is a ring route, starting at the Fonda-Savio refuge (2,367 m), which runs in sequence the Torre fork (2,400 m), the Sabbee fork (2,440 m), the Cadin Deserto fork (2,400 m), the Cristina fork, the de la Neve fork (2,471 m) and lastly the Nevaio fork (2,620 m), with a total height difference of about 1,000 m. The first climb dates back to 31 August 1896 by Giovanni Siorpaes, Pietro Siorpaes, Ilona Eötvös, Rolanda Eötvös, Johann Innerkofler, and Loránd Eötvös.

 

Accommodation facilities include refuge Fonda-Savio (2367 m), refuge Col da Varda (2115 m), and refuge Città di Carpi (2110 m).

Monte Piana is a 2,324-metre (7,625 ft) tall mountain in the Sexten Dolomites and located on the border between the provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno. The smaller Northern summit of the mountain is named Monte Piano (2,305m).

 

During the so-called "White War" in World War I the mountain was hotly contested between the Austrian and Italian Armies. The Austrians had occupied the Northern summit Monte Piano, while the Southern summit Monte Piana was in Italian hands. Today many remnants of the fierce fighting can still be found on both summits.

 

History

 

When Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary on 24 May 1915, seven / eight battalions of the thirty-five stationed between San Candido and the Stelvio were sent to Monte Piana and its valleys. Monte Piana was part of the operational sector of the IV Army commanded by Lieutenant General Luigi Nava, whose units were divided into two sectors, Cordevole and Cadore, the first belonging to the IX Corps and the second, of which part of the sector of Monte Piana, under the jurisdiction of the 1st Army Corps commanded by Lieutenant General Ottavio Ragni. On 24 May the Piana was occupied by two platoons of Alpine troops of the 96th company, Pieve di Cadore battalion, of the 7th regiment. Other Alpini of the 67th company around 08:30 were hit by an artillery shell fired from Monte Rudo while they were working on the road from Misurina to Monte Piana; they were the first Italians to fall on a mountain that in less than two years made about 14,000 victims from both sides. Here, on 7 June 1915, second lieutenant Antonio De Toni (7th regiment, 268th company, batt. Val Piave) was fatally wounded, the first to be killed in the Padua university community.

 

At the end of the day, the two years of war on Mount Piana essentially led to nothing, the two contenders fought for two long years on a patch of land, without ever being able to subvert the enemy forces, and on 3 November 1917 the positions on the plain were abandoned by the Italian units to retreat and take sides on the Grappa line in an attempt to resist the Austro-Hungarian offensive in Caporetto

 

Between 1977 and 1981, on the initiative of the Austrian Colonel Walther Schaumann, the "Open-air Historical Museum of Monte Piana" was established and can be visited by all, free of charge. The works for the rearrangement of the trenches were carried out by the group "Friends of the Dolomites" (Dolomitenfreunde) with the reconstruction of the walkways, trenches, tunnels and stairways of the time. Every year since 1983, the restoration work of the trenches has been carried out during the first fifteen days of August, by the "Monte Piana Foundation" and the "Friends of the Dolomites" (who for the occasion formed the "Gruppo Volontari Amici del Piana" ")

 

In 1981, during the usual meeting on the first Sunday of September, dedicated to the commemoration of the fallen of Monte Piana, the "Friends of the Dolomites" handed over the open-air Historical Museum to the "Monte Piana Foundation", which then work area. In 1983, the newly established "Gruppo Volontari Amici del Piana" began its patient work of intervention on those elements that are damaged every year by bad weather and thaw.

 

Since that year, the volunteers are committed to faithfully reconstructing the sections of dry stone wall that collapsed during the winter; they recover what remains of the old shelters, restore the wooden structure and carry out a radical cleaning of the mountain from waste, in respect of the fact that this site has become a protected area. In addition, the access paths from the surrounding valleys are maintained and the relative signs are taken care of, currently assisted by retired colonel Elio Scarpa.

 

In 1986 the Group dedicated its name to the recently deceased vice president of the "Monte Piana Foundation", Elio Scarpa, who was thus given the credit for having made possible the launch of this initiative. But support for the work also came from the Italian army at the hands of the Alpine Troops Command, so the group of volunteers can use, during the work, an off-road vehicle, tents and various materials, in addition to valid help. of the military personnel placed at its disposal, for a collaboration that continues today,

Die Cadini di Misurina bilden als Untergruppe den südlichen Abschluss der Sextener Dolomiten und befinden sich in der Provinz Belluno in Italien. Die aufgrund zahlreicher spektakulärer Felsgipfel und Zinnen sehr eindrucksvolle Gebirgslandschaft wird im Westen vom Misurinasee, im Norden von den Drei Zinnen und im Süden und Osten vom Val d’Ansiei begrenzt und gilt als ein Paradies für Kletterer. Der höchste Berg ist die Cima Cadin di San Lucano (2839 m). Als Teil der von der UNESCO unter „Nördliche Dolomiten“ zusammengefassten Dolomitengruppen, gehört die Cadini-Gruppe mit allen Untergruppen seit dem 26. Juni 2009 zum UNESCO Welterbe Dolomiten.

 

Auf die Cima Cadin Nord Est (2796 m) führt ein sehr ausgesetzter Klettersteig, die Via Ferrata Merlone. Der Bonacossaweg (Sentiero Bonacossa) durchquert, teils ausgesetzt und versichert, unter Ausnützung von Felsbändern und alten Pfaden aus dem Gebirgskrieg, über mehrere Scharten die gesamte Berggruppe. Als lohnende Tour gilt auch die hochalpine Umrundung der zentralen Cadini-Gruppe (Giro di Cadini) auf dem Sentiero Durissini. Im Winter gilt dieser Weg als sehr anspruchsvolle Skitour.

 

Vom Misurinasee führt ein Sessellift zum Rifugio Col de Varda.

Der Monte Piana ist ein 2.324 Meter hoher Berg in den Sextner Dolomiten an der Grenze zwischen den italienischen Provinzen Südtirol und Belluno, Italien, nördlich des Misurinasees. Der Plateauberg trägt noch den Monte Piano genannten Nordgipfel (2305 m). Der allein stehende Berg ist umgeben von den Drei Zinnen im Osten, der Cristallogruppe, der Cadini-Gruppe und dem Dürrenstein. Die Südtiroler Anteile des Bergs sind im Naturpark Drei Zinnen unter Schutz gestellt.

 

m Ersten Weltkrieg war der Berg zwischen Österreichern und Italienern heftig umkämpft (siehe dazu auch den Artikel Gebirgskrieg 1915–1918). Der Nordgipfel Monte Piano war von den Österreichern, der südliche Hauptgipfel von den Italienern besetzt. Auf dem hochplateauartigen Gipfelbereich zeugen die Stellungsanlagen, Schützengräben und Stollen beider Seiten, die sich teilweise nur wenige Meter gegenüberlagen, davon noch heute. Auf einem 1977 bis 1982 vom Verein der Dolomitenfreunde angelegten Historischen Rundweg können diese besichtigt werden.

 

Ein leichter Anstieg auf den Berg erfolgt vom Süden her zum Rifugio Angelo Bosi (2.205 m), bis zur Hütte als asphaltierte Fahrstraße. Die übrigen Auf- und Abstiege über den Touristensteig und den Pionierweg erfordern Trittsicherheit. Der Dolomiten-Höhenweg 3 überquert den Berg.

 

Zum Gedenken an die Rolle des Monte Piano als Kriegsschauplatz 1915–1917 wählte der Ausmusterungsjahrgang 2000 der Theresianischen Militärakademie in Wiener Neustadt den Namen „Jahrgang Monte Piano“.
