Geier, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Geier is a mountain peak reaching 2,857 meters (9,373 feet) in the Tux Alps, positioned where four valleys meet: Schmirntal, Navistal, Tuxer Tal, and Wattental. The surrounding landscape features steep rock faces and open alpine meadows.

The mountain formed millions of years ago through geological processes that shaped serpentine and other rock types from ancient ocean crust. This geological history reflects the complex tectonics between the Eastern Alps and Tauern Window.

The summit carries a vulture made of sheet metal, placed there in reference to the mountain's name; it is a figure, not a monument. The name Geier is the German word for vulture. The peak lies where the Schmirntal, Navistal, Tuxer Tal and Wattental meet, and the Junssee lake sits about 400 metres to the southeast at roughly 2,660 metres.

The Lizumer Hütte mountain shelter is the main starting point for ski tours and climbing routes to the summit. Visitors should have alpine experience and bring proper gear suited for snow and steep terrain.

Much of the mountain sits within a military training area that is typically off-limits to the public. Only the southwestern flank remains permanently open to hikers and climbers year-round.
