    The Western Peak, with its 2,912 meters, is the highest of the Gran Sasso massif and also the highest peak of the Apennines. It is part of the larger peak of Corno Grande which includes: Eastern Vetta (reachable with the fun Ricci ferrata from the Franchetti refuge), Torrione Cambi, Central Vetta and the simpler and more popular Western Vetta. The view from the top is spectacular, on clear winter days you can admire both seas!

      The Corno Grande with its 2,912 meters above sea level it is the highest peak of the Apennines.
      It can be reached via the Via Normale or the Direttissima.
      Both trails require some attention.
