Gitschberg

Gitschberg is a mountain peak in South Tyrol, Italy, rising to 2,510 meters. From the top you can see across the Zillertal Alps and the Western Tauern ranges.

The mountain has long been a waypoint along trade routes connecting Alpine valleys. These paths linked different settlements and enabled the exchange of goods and knowledge between communities.

Local mountain communities maintain traditional Alpine festivals and events throughout the year, celebrating their connection to Monte Cuzzo and surrounding peaks.

You can reach the summit by hiking the Ochsenboden trail or using the chairlift. The Gitschhütte mountain refuge sits about 930 meters below to the south and provides food and shelter.

At the summit you will find an installed telescope on the viewing platform. With this device you can examine distant peaks and valleys in fine detail.
