Image collection »Zillertaler Alpen«

The Zillertaler Alpen make up the greatest part of the main alpine chain and their borders are the Wipp, Puster, and Taufer Ahrntal, Krimmler Ache, Gerlos and Tuxertal valleys. Their core is made up of the very resistant rocks of the Tauernfenster and they are enveloped in slate shells. There a many reservoirs to be found here like, for example, the Schlegeisspeicher, which provide water for the production of electricity in the Zillertal. The political border between Austria and Italy runs along the highest, mostly intensely glaciated peaks. Two of the peaks are the Hochfeiler (3509 m) and the Große Möseler (3480 m).
