Rossalm and Cima Gabler

DESCRIPTION
Fantastic hike on the Plose.
A few kilometers from Bressanone opens a beautiful tourist area, both winter and summer, the Plose. The itinerary we propose will give you the opportunity to do some trekking, use snowshoes to conquer the Gabler peak and from the Rossalm return by sled to the parking lot.
Throughout the route you can admire the snow-capped peaks of the Odle and Sas de Putia.

ITINERARY
From the car park (1990 m), take a stretch of asphalted road. Then, following the Rossalm signpost, trail 17A, take a well-trodden and sometimes flat road towards the east, up to Rossalm (2170 m). Here you continue towards the Gabler mountain hut for about 2 km. Now go up an unsigned path towards Cima Gabler. Shortly before the summit, you reach the Gabler Shelter (2561 m) and then the summit cross of Mount Gabler (2576 m). Descend from the path aided with a metal cord, being very careful. Then take the path back to Rossalm . You return to the starting point by the same road.

For your safety, always consult the avalanche bulletin, because the snowpack is subject to rapid changes, ask the competent local offices for information.
