Monte Portella, Mountain peak in Gran Sasso National Park, Italy
Monte Portella reaches an elevation of 2,388 meters and stands between the Sella di Monte Aquila and La Portella saddle in the Apennine range.
The mountain forms part of the Gran Sasso massif, which has served as a natural boundary and geographical reference point for centuries in central Italy.
Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on Monte Portella's slopes, continuing centuries-old agricultural customs of the Abruzzo region.
Hikers can access Monte Portella through a 10-kilometer trail from Campo Imperatore, with two mountain refuges providing services during summer months.
The mountain's position offers direct views of surrounding peaks, including Corno Grande and Pizzo Cefalone, while marking the southern limit of Gran Sasso.
