Hohe Gaisl, Mountain summit in Dolomites, Italy.
The Croda Rossa d'Ampezzo, also known as Hohe Gaisl, reaches an elevation of 3,146 meters and features distinctive red limestone walls between Val di Braies and Val di Landro.
The first successful ascent of the mountain occurred on June 20, 1870, when climber Whitewell and local guides Siorpaes and Laneuer reached the summit through the western route.
The mountain carries three different names reflecting the multilingual heritage of the region: Hohe Gaisl in German, Croda Rossa d'Ampezzo in Italian, and Crep Checio in Ladin.
The main climbing season extends from June to September, with access typically starting from Prato Piazza at 1,991 meters, which connects to the Brenner motorway network.
The mountain contains several secondary peaks, including La Crodaccia at 2,531 meters and Piccola Croda Rossa at 2,859 meters, forming a complex geological structure.
