Geier (Tux Alps)

The Geier is, at 2,857 m above sea level (AA), the second highest mountain in the Tux Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol.

The Geier lies in the center of the Tux Alps, where the south-west Schmirntal, the west Navistal, the east Tuxer Tal and the north Wattental come together.

450 meters north of the Geier lies the much more rugged Lizumer Reckner, the highest mountain in the Tux Alps.

With the exception of the south-west flank, the Geier belongs to the Lizum-Walchen military training area.

The summit area is mainly composed of serpentinites of the Reckner complex, mainly lherzolites, with subordinate harzburgites and dunites.
