A terrible plane crash involved the Pellice Valley on July 21, 1957. A giant Lockeed P2V Neptune, which had taken off from the NATO base in Aviano (Udine) to participate in the search for another American aircraft, crashed at Pian Sineive (going up from the Conca del Prà towards the Granero Refuge) in an attempt to make a crash landing. Only one of the ten passengers was saved.On July 13, 1958, a stone monument was erected at the crash site with pieces of the plane embedded in it in memory of the victims. Reached by detour from the main route.
