The Cismon (German outdated Sismun ) is a torrente (torrent) in northern Italy, which flows through the provinces of Trento , Belluno and Vicenza .
It is the largest tributary of the Brenta, into which it flows at Cismon del Grappa on the border between the two provinces of Vicenza and Belluno. In a sense, it is the second source river of the Brenta, as it is not much smaller. Because a proverb from Primör says: El Brenta no sarìe el Brenta se 'l Cismon no' l ghe dese na pénta (The Brenta would not be the Brenta if the Cismon did not give it a drive).
course
The Torrente Cismon rises at Passo Rolle below Monte Castellazzo. The highest elevation of its catchment area is the Cimon della Pala at 3184 m slm .
70% of its course is in Trentino, while the lower course is in the Veneto region . After flowing through the tourist resort of San Martino di Castrozza , it receives its first significant inflow at Fiera di Primiero with the Torrente Canali. Just a little further south, the Torrente Noana, another left tributary flows into the Cismon at Imer . On the border between the provinces of Trento and Belluno, near Pontet in the Schener gorge, it is dammed for the first time and forms the Schener reservoir of the same name. Shortly afterwards the Torrente Vanoi flows into the Cismon from the right. At Lamon it is dammed for the second time and forms the Lago di Pedesalto. Immediately afterwards the left tributary Senaiga, which itself is dammed up to the Lago di Senaiga only a few kilometers before, flows into the Cismon.
In the lower reaches it leads through the basins of Fonzaso and Arsiè . At the height of Rocca d'Arsiè, a fraction of Arsié where the valley narrows again, another dam wall was built by ENEL at the end of the 1950s , so that the cismon forms the Lago di Corlo here. After the dam built in the gorge, it flows into the Brenta just a little later in the Canale di Brenta near Cismon del Grappa.
