Image collection »Stubaier Alpen«
The Stubaier Alpen are located between the Ötz, Inn and Wipp valleys and the Jaufenpass. They are intensely glaciated and reach an altitude of well over 3000 m. The highest peak is the Zuckerhütl (3507 m). Geologically speaking, they consist of crystalline slate. On their eastern edge, however, the former limestone cover still remains in individual rock outcrops and these give rise to a completely different (more precipitous) appearance. Examples of these are the Pflerscher Tribulaun (3097 m) and the Serles (2717 m).
