The Maè is the main watercourse along the val di Zoldo, in Belluno, Italian Eastern Alps. It is a right tributary of the Piave. The valley is also called the Valle del Maè (Mae Valley) along Soffranco and Longarone.[1] The Mae Valley near Forno di Zoldo is the site of the Piave–Boite–Vaiont hydroelectric system.[2][verification needed]
