The Sobretta-Gavia Group (German : Sobretta-Gavia-Gruppe, Italian : Gruppo Sobretta-Gavia) is a mountain massif that extends between the upper Veltlin and the upper Valcamonica in the Italian provinces of Sondrio and Brescia.
The Sobretta-Gavia Group is classified geologically with the Central Eastern Alps because it lies north of the geological fault of the Periadriatic Seam, but more regionally and geographically as part of the Southern Alps, because it lies south of the Veltlin (Adda)–Vintschgau (Etsch) longitudinal valley trough. [1] According to the Alpine Club Classification of the Eastern Alps (AVE) the group is bounded as follows: [2]
Until the new AVE classification emerged in 1984 this group was counted as part of the Ortler Group according to the Moriggl classification (ME) of 1924. According to Italian custom it is counted as part of the Rhaetian Alps.
