Val Piana is a lateral valley of Codera valley,on its hydrographic right, placed about midway of the main valley itself.
This valley is typical for its quite rectilnear path, therefore most likely placed on a quite recent fault zone. Val Piana shares about all of the mineralogical paragenesis of the main Codera Valley but with a plus: quartzitic rocks (likely veins) hosting the rare zeolite "yugawaralite".

Provided coordinates are conventionally placed at mid of the valley.
