Grosser Gabler, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy
Grosser Gabler is a mountain summit in South Tyrol that rises to 2576 meters. The southern slopes descend gradually while the northern face drops steeply, showing evidence of past glacial activity.
The mountain acquired its current shape through glacial movement during the ice ages. These ancient glaciers left the distinctive features visible on the landscape today.
Local shepherds have maintained the tradition of summer cattle grazing on the southern slopes, preserving agricultural practices across generations.
A cable car from St. Andrä lifts visitors to 2000 meters elevation. From there, marked trails lead onward and are suitable for moderate hikers.
The mountain is composed of conglomerate rock rather than typical Alpine limestone. Natural ground movements have shifted sections of the surface, creating an unusual appearance.
