List of Austria's Highest Mountains

There are many mountains in Austria, most of them belong to the Alps and I am sure you know this already. You might have even heard of the highest one, Mount Großglockner. It is famous for the road (Großglockner Hochalpenstraße) leading near its peak and the scenic glacier that supplements it.

Most other really high mountains in Austria are a lot less famous. If you are keen on hiking or skiing, the local tourism board of a certain region will have the information you need for deciding where to go. The following list is not very useful for such a purpose - for suggestions on good hiking areas, you might rather read my articles on "Hiking in Austria" or the main article on "Skiing in Austria".

The following list gives a good overview of the big players on the roof of the nation. It also echoes the "alpine" flavour of each province, with Tyrol clearly taking the mountainous lead.
