Gran Sasso Peaks from San Pietro

The Gran Sasso Massif

The Gran Sasso d'Italia is the highest mountain group of the Apennines, culminating in the Corno Grande at 2,912 metres. Its pale limestone spires and buttresses rise sharply above the surrounding valleys, forming a skyline that has drawn mountaineers and pilgrims for centuries.

The Village of San Pietro

Perched at around 802 metres within the municipality of Isola del Gran Sasso d'Italia, San Pietro is a small mountain hamlet in the Province of Teramo. The camera looks out from the village toward the great wall of rock that defines this corner of Abruzzo.

Climbing and Wild Nature

These peaks sit within the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, a protected haven of alpine meadows, chamois and golden eagles. The rock faces are a celebrated destination for climbers and hikers seeking one of the most rugged environments in central Italy.
