Furgler
The Furgler (also ''Großer Furgler'', ) is one of the most visited mountains of the Samnaun Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The tourist resort of Serfaus, which is in the immediate vicinity, is often selected as the start point for tours of the mountain. Ascents The ski area of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis runs close to the mountain, which makes it much easier to climb. Start points here are the middle or top stations of the Komperdell lift on the Lazidkopf. An ascent from the lift may be made on one of two waymarked paths: *The northern route runs from the middle station (1,980 m) along the long-distance path no. 702 past the Furglersee (2,458 m), westwards through the Furgler valley, over the Furglerjoch col (2,748 m) and along the north arête to the summit cross. *The southern route runs from the ''Lassida'' top station (2,351 m) over the Böderköpfe to the Scheid (2,429 m), continues to the Tieftalsee lake (2,783 m) and circumnavigates this ...

Serfaus
Serfaus is a municipality in the district of Landeck in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is well known as part of the ski-region "Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis", which was formed when Serfaus teamed up with the two nearby municipalities of Fiss and Ladis in 1999. Serfaus is also known for its small hovertrain subway system, the U-Bahn Serfaus. With four stations and a length of 1280 m (the second-shortest underground train line in the world) it allows for a complete ban of cars within the town, while at the same time maintaining the village's attractiveness to tourists, particularly skiers. Geography Serfaus is a small town located on a plateau 500m above the upper Inn valley in Tyrol, western Austria. Above the town a high ridge rises, linking Mount Furgler (3004 metres above sea level) with Mount Schönjoch (2491m). On the opposite side of the valley is a 20 km-long ridge named Glockturmkamm with Pfroslkopf peak (3148m). History The oldest evidence of civilisation in the region ...

Alpine Three-thousanders
Three-thousanders are mountains with a height of between , but less than above sea level. Similar terms are commonly used for mountains of other height brackets e. g. four-thousanders or eight-thousanders. In Britain, the term may refer to mountains above . Climatological significance In temperate latitudes three-thousanders play an important role, because even in summer they lie below the zero degree line for weeks. Thus the chains of three-thousanders always form important climatic divides and support glaciation - in the Alps the contour is roughly the general limit of the "nival step"; only a few glaciated mountains are under (the Dachstein, the easternmost glaciated mountain in the Alps, is, at , not a three-thousander). In the Mediterranean, however, the three-thousanders remain free of ice and, in the tropics, they are almost insignificant from a climatic perspective; here the snow line lies at around to , and in the dry continental areas (Trans-Himalayas, Ande ...

Alpenverein Südtirol
The South Tyrol Alpine Club (german: Alpenverein Südtirol), abbreviated AVS, is an association of German and Ladin-speaking mountain climbers in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Founded in 1946, it is sub-divided into 32 sections and 58 local divisions. The AVS is based in Bolzano and has more than 60,000 members. History Originally, the South Tyrolean alpine club sections were members of the German and Austrian Alpine Club (''Deutscher und Österreichischer Alpenverein''). In 1869 the first sections were founded in Bozen and Niederdorf, Puster Valley. By 1910, 15 more sections had been established in South Tyrol. They initiated the construction of 19 mountain huts, an extensive network of paths through the mountains and training for mountain guides. After the end of the First World War, the annexation of South Tyrol by Italy and the coming into power of the fascists, the South Tyrolean sections were disappropriated and banned in 1923 (see Italianization of South Tyrol).
