La Gusella, Mountain summit in Province of Belluno, Italy

La Gusella rises to an elevation of 2,595 meters in the Dolomites, featuring steep limestone walls that form a distinctive needle-like profile against the sky.

The mountain area contains numerous military fortifications and trenches from World War I, when Italian and Austrian forces engaged in mountain warfare operations.

The name Gusela del Nuvolau combines local Ladin language elements, reflecting the mountain's connection to clouds and its needle-shaped formation in the regional dialect.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Passo Giau, with via ferrata routes equipped with steel cables to assist climbers during their ascent.

The summit serves as a natural weather indicator for local inhabitants, as clouds often gather around its peak before the arrival of weather changes.
