Geier, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Geier rises 2,857 meters above sea level in the Tux Alps, where four valleys converge: Schmirntal, Navistal, Tuxer Tal, and Wattental.

The mountain's geological formation includes serpentinites from the Reckner complex, representing segments of former oceanic crust between the Lower East Alps and Tauern Window.

A tin vulture monument stands at the summit, reflecting the mountain's name, which translates to 'vulture' in the German language.

The Lizumer Hütte mountain shelter serves as the primary starting point for ski tours and hiking expeditions to reach the mountain's peak.

The mountain territory largely sits within the Lizum-Walchen military training area, except for its southwestern flank, which remains accessible to the public.

Location: Tyrol
