The Luson Mountains between the Valle Isarco, the Val Pusteria and the Val Badia in the municipal areas of Chienes and S. Lorenzo di Sebato. This subgroup of the Dolomites is composed of rather low peaks. Passo delle Erbe, the most well-known pass connects the Val Badia to the Valle Isarco where the Sass de Putia extends.
The Luson Mountains owe their name to the eponymous valley that divides the mountain chain into two parts. One part includes the Plose massif, a famous hiking and skiing area near Bressanone in the Valle Isarco. The other part comprises the Alpe di Rodengo high plateau, a popular hiking area as well.
The highest peak is Monte Gabler, a panoramic mountain with a relatively low altitude of 2,576 m a.s.l. near Bressanone. Other peaks worth mentioning are Monte Muro (2,332 m a.s.l.) and Cima Lasta (2,196 m a.s.l.) which delights you with stunning panoramic views.
Highest peak: Großer Gabler (2,576 m a.s.l.)
Territory: South Tyrol
