The Lechtal Alps () are a mountain-range in western Austria, and part of the greater Northern Limestone Alps range. Named for the river Lech which drains them north-ward into Germany, the Lechtal Alps occupy the Austrian states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg and are known for their diverse rock structure. The Lechtal Alps are surrounded by the Ötztal Alps, Samnaun Alps and Verwall Alps (south) and the Allgäu Alps The Allgäu Alps () are a mountain range in the Northern Limestone Alps, located on the Austria–Germany border, which covers parts of the Germany, German states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg and the Austrian states of Tyrol (state), Tyrol an ...

Mountain Ranges Of The Alps
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains ...

Fallenbacherspitze
The Fallenbacherspitze (also: Fallenbacher Spitze, Fallenbacher-Spitze) in the Austrian state of Tyrol is a 2,723-metre-high rock summit in the Lechtal Alps.

It is bounded to the east and south by the ''Alperschontal'' valley, that runs from the ''Madau''. To the southwest it continues via the wind gap of ''Gamskarscharte'' and the ''Fallenbacher Turm'' (2,704 m) to the Feuerspitze (2, ...

Große Schlenkerspitze
The Große Schlenkerspitze is a mountain in the Lechtal Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. At or, according to other sources, 2,831 m, it is the highest peak in the eastern part of the Lechtal Alps. Summit block The massif of the Schlenkerspitze is a rock wall of main dolomite over two kilometres long. Its north arête drops down to the saddle of Galtseitejoch, its southwest arête links the Große Schlenkerspitze to the ''Kleine Schlenkerspitze'' () and then drops into the Hintere Dremelscharte col. The east arête joins it to the Brunnkarspitze. The entire Schlenker massif is brittle and ruptured, the arêtes bristle with innumerable pinnacles because the rock strata are vertical here. First ascent The Große Schlenkerspitze was first ascended in 1882 from the Galtseitenjoch saddle by Spiehler and Friedel; the Kleine Schlenkerspitze via the southeast arête in 1896 by Ampferer and W.
