Gabiet - Passo Zube (sentiero alternativo)
Map & route
GPX track — verify on the ground before hiking
Fitness level
From Lake Gabiet to the Passo Zube (about 2,700 m), a short high-altitude traverse between the Gabiet basin and the inner valleys of the area. The scenic, easy-going trail links the tarns and high alps above Gressoney-La-Trinité, with constant views of the Lyskamm. Ideal as a day loop starting from the Gabiet lifts.
Earth sciences
Geology & landscape
The bedrock is that of the Monte Rosa nappe — continental-crust gneisses and granites, greenstones of the Alpine ocean — carved and polished by the Lys glaciers, among recent moraines and roches moutonnées.
History & culture
This is Walser country: the Alemannic settlers who crossed the Monte Rosa glaciers from Valais in the 13th century left Gressoney the Töitschu language, timber-and-stone stadel and the German names of the peaks.
