Lechtal Alps

The Lechtal Alps form part of the Northern Limestone Alps, rising between the Lech valley and the upper Inn country in western Austria. Their name comes from the Lech, which follows the northwestern side of the range before flowing towards the Danube. The mountains are chiefly in Tyrol, with a smaller portion extending into Vorarlberg. Their highest summit, the Parseierspitze, rises to 3,036 metres, above the ridges and valleys that separate the Lech from the routes through the Inn basin.
