Image collection »Ötztaler Alpen«

The Ötztaler Alpen make up a large part of the main alpine range between the Innal valley, the Vinschgau and the Passeier and Ötztal valleys and they are made up of crystalline slate. These alps are made up of a number of mountain ridges like, for example, the Kaunergrat, Geigenkamm, Texelgruppe and Salurnklamm and are intensely glaciated. The Gepatschferner is the biggest glacier in Tyrol and after the Pasterze the second biggest glacier in the Eastern Alps. The highest peak is the Wildspitze at 3768 m. It is also the second highest mountain in Austria. In 1991, Ötzi, the neolithic glacier mummy, was found in the Ötztaler Alpen, to be precise on the Tisenjoch.
