Location and landscape

The Sattelberg is located south of Gries am Brenner on the main Alpine ridge . The border between North Tyrol (municipality of Gries am Brenner) and South Tyrol (municipality of Brenner ) runs across the ridge , since 1919 the state border between Austria and Italy . The mountain falls relatively steeply in the east to the Wipptal and the Brenner Pass ( 1370  m above sea level ), to the southwest the ridge, which separates the Obernberg valley in the north from the Wipp and Pflersch valley in the south, continues up to the Steinjoch ( 2186  m above sea level ) and to the Hohen Lorenzen ( 2315  m above sea level ).

The Sattelberg is a gentle hilltop that is overgrown with spruce forests up to around 2000  m and is covered by Almmatten up to the summit . The western flank up to the summit is part of the Nößlachjoch - Obernberger See - Tribulaune conservation area.

geology

The Sattelberg consists mainly of quartz phyllite with intercalations of iron dolomite. The slopes to the Sill below the Sattelbergalm are made of black phyllite with layers of limestone mica schist and dolomite . Between Gries am Brenner and the Sattelbergalm there is Bündnerschiefer with rocks from the Matrei shed zone.

Sattelberg ski area
