The Salober ist a 2,088 -high grass mountain in the Allgäu Alps. It lies northeast of the Laufbacher Eck.

Its name^[1]^[2] probably means Latin: saluber "healthy, smart, attractive" (also used of scenery).^[3]

There are no signed paths to the top of the Salober. It can be accessed from the Feldalpe across trackless terrain. This climb requires a head for heights and sure-footedness. Occasionally the Salober is climbed as part of a crossing of the whole chain from the Giebel via the Berggächtle to the Laufbacher Eck by experienced mountaineers (Climbing grade: UIAA III).

The botany of the Salober is as rich as that of the other Allgäu grass mountains.^{[citation needed]}
