The Gran Sasso d'Italia is the highest massif of the Apennines, rising to a
height of 2.914 m at the Corno Grande peak. To the north, it is enclosed by the
river Vomano, and to the south by the Aterno-Pescara and is included in the
provinces of Teramo and Aquila. There is little woodland and on the massif
itself, the cultivated areas (cereals, potatoes) reach fairly high altitudes
(1900 m) and, higher up, are substituted by pasturelands. There is very little
hydrography due to the karst phenomena: the only permanent water course a is the
Rajale. There are numerous mountain-hut refuges as well as tourist facilities,
especially at Campo Imperatore.
