Tirol Mountains

The rock and névé, the beauty and the sublime solitude of the Zillertal and Ötztal Alps, the Stubai Alps, the Grossglockner and the Grossvenediger, with peaks rising above 3,000m/10,000ft and some approaching 4,000m/13,000ft, exert a magical attraction for climbing and walking enthusiasts. The wild and bizarrely fashioned rock landscapes of the Kaisergebirge, the Karwendel, the Lienz Dolomites and the Kalkkögel (Stubai Alps) near Innsbruck are a paradise for rock climbers, but hold equal fascination for those who prefer to enjoy their mountain scenery less strenuously from the valley.
