Casa Vecchia Alm

Starting from this pasture, which offers a fascinating view of the Dolomite range, visitors can reach the trail climbing from Cima Sappada towards the Source of the River Piave and the “Pier Fortunato Calvi” Refuge. The southern flank of Mount Avanza, which dominates this pasture, features ancient copper and silver mines still containing the remains of pestles used for the crushing of minerals. This area of noteworthy historical value can be reached by following CAI trail n. 173, starting from the hairpin bend located 100 m to the East of the shelter and climbing steeply towards a crossroads where visitors should follow CAI trail n. 177 to the right.
