Tuxer Kamm 
In the north part of the Zillertal Alps, running roughly parallel to the main ridge and separated from it by the Zamser Grund, lies the Tuxer Kamm (Tux Ridge), rich in large glaciers and commanding peaks. Among these rears the bold outline of the Olperer (3,476m/11,405ft), linked with the steep-sided Schrammacher (3,410m/11,188ft) by a long ridge.

Hoher Riffler
In the Zillertal Alps, the Hintertuxer Gletscherbahn (cableway) and a chairlift ascend from the Galtalpe (1,540m/5,053ft) to the Sonnenbergalm (2,080m/6,824ft) or via the Spannagel-Haus (2,528m/8,294ft) to the Gefrorene Wand (upper station 3,060m/10,040ft; summer skiing also). From the Spannagel-Haus the Hoher Riffler (3,228m/10,591ft) can be climbed. A cross-country route affording extensive views winds down to the Friesenberg-Haus (2,498m/8,196ft), on the Friesenbergsee, and the Neue Dominikus-Hütte (1,810m/5,939ft), on the Schlegeis reservoir. From the Kraxentrager (2,999m/9,840ft), the most westerly of the major peaks in the Tuxer Kamm, there is a view of the somber little Brennersee far below, near the Brenner pass.
