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 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, 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.
However, it does give 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.
