Ortler
Ortler (; it, Ortles ) is, at above sea level, the highest mountain in the Eastern Alps outside the Bernina Range. It is the main peak of the Ortler Range. It is the highest point of the Southern Limestone Alps, of South Tyrol in Italy, of Tyrol overall, and, until 1919, of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. In German the mountain is commonly referred to as "König Ortler" (King Ortler), like in the unofficial hymn of South Tyrol, the ''Bozner Bergsteigerlied''. Geography The massive mountain is capped by a glacier on the northwest flank and has a long north ridge that ends at the village of ''Gomagoi'' and separates the valleys of Trafoi and Sulden. The South ridge leads to the Hochjoch (3527 m) on the main ridge of the Ortler Alps that forms the border of the Province of Sondrio and South Tyrol. Going west on this main ridge are the Thurwieserspitze (3652) and Trafoier Wall (3565 m), while to the Southeast are the Monte Zebrù (3740 m) and the majestic Königspitze (3859 m). Fr ...

SOIUSA Code
SOIUSA code is the code used in the International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps (ISMSA or SOIUSA), a proposal by Italian Alpinist, Sergio Marazzi, to re-categorize the mountains and mountain ranges of the Alps. The proposal has been aired since 2005 but has yet to receive official recognition. SOIUSA groups' hierarchy SOIUSA divides the Alps in two main regions, the Western Alps and Eastern Alps. These two main regions are further divided in: *5 major sectors (SR); *36 sections (SZ); *132 subsections (STS); *333 supergroups (SPG); *870 groups (GR); *1625 subgroups (STG). Using this system, any Alpine mountain can be given a code which shows which region, sector, section, subsection, supergroup, group and subgroup it belongs to. Encoding SOIUSA code is built in the following way: * 2 main parts: ** Western Alps are identified by roman numeral I; ** Eastern Alps are identified by roman numeral II; * 5 major sectors: ** in Western Alps: *** South-western Alps are ...
