The Felber Tauern pass road runs across the Alpine crest between Salzburg and East Tyrol on the eastern side of the range.

According to a legend, when local shepherds saw the giant mass of the Venediger glacier for the first time they thought they were looking at the glistening surface of the sea with a town (“Venice”).

The Venediger Group borders on the following other ranges in the Alps: To the north the Oberpinzgau valley of the Salzach river forms the boundary from Krimml downstream to the town of Mittersill.

To the east the boundary runs from Mittersill southwards up the Felberbach stream, over the Felber Tauern pass and continues down the Tauernbach to Matrei in Osttirol.

To the south the Defereggen Valley delineates the boundary from Huben along the Schwarzach heading upstream as far as the Jagdhaus alp and the Klammljoch pass.
