After graduating from high school in Strasbourg (1903), Gröber studied geology in Strasbourg, Göttingen and Munich.

From 1908 to 1909 he took part in Gottfried Merzbacher's expedition to the Tien Shan Mountains, and from 1910 to 1911 he was at the Museum of Natural History in Brussels. In 1911 he completed his habilitation in physical geography in Leipzig (from the results of a research trip to the southern Tienschan) and in the same year emigrated to Argentina, where he became a geologist at the state geological service that Enrique Hermitte set up with foreign geologists, where he stayed until 1943 . From 1935 to 1952 he was adjunct professor of physical geography at the University of Buenos Aires, and he also taught at other universities in Argentina.
