Tux Alps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tux Alps (German: Tuxer Alpen) are a small mountain range of the Alps in Austria. The range is named after the Tux Valley, a side valley of the Ziller Valley. It is part of the Central Eastern Alps.

The range is bounded by the Inn valley to the north (separating it from the Karwendel); the lower Ziller valley to the east (separating it from the Kitzbühel Alps); the Tuxerjoch pass and the Tux Valley to the south (separating it from the Zillertal Alps); the Wipptal to the west (separating it from the Stubai Alps).

The highest peak of the Tux Alps is the Lizumer Reckner, elevation 2886 metres.
