    Tips

    Hiking

    When you are near Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi, you have the raw, light-limestone wall of Gran Sasso in front of you, with the Corno Grande West Peak towering above it all, at 2912 m a.s.l., which is also the highest peak in the Apennines.
    Other peaks – Central, East, and Torrione Cambi – hide behind the massive silhouette of the West Peak, visually merging with it into one solid rock face.

    Hiking

    Just walk a little north from Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi towards the summit of Monte Portella or approach the Sella del Brecciaio pass, and the distinctive, soaring silhouette of Corno Piccolo - 2655 m a.s.l. will emerge from behind the edge of Corno Grande.
    Often, the lower, front rocks or pinnacles in the Corno Grande ridge (e.g., subordinate uplifts above the pass) are mistakenly taken for Corno Piccolo.
