Lechtal Alps

The Lechtal Alps form the largest mountain chain of the Northern Limestone Alps, stretching across Tyrol and Vorarlberg with numerous peaks and valleys.

The Lechtal Alps received their name from the Lech River, which originates in Vorarlberg and flows northward through the mountains into Germany.

Twenty mountain huts managed by the Alpine Association provide shelter and support for mountaineers exploring the extensive network of trails.

The European long-distance hiking trail E5 and two sections of the Via Alpina traverse the mountain range, offering marked paths for multi-day treks.

The Parseierspitze stands as the sole peak above 3,000 meters in the Northern Limestone Alps, reaching an elevation of 3,036 meters.
