!!!Radstädter Tauern

Radstaedter Tauern Mountains, western-most group of the Niedere Tauern 
Mountains in the province of Salzburg, separate the Pongau and the 
Lungau regions. Summits: Weisseck (alt. 2,711 m), Hochfeind (alt. 
2,687 m), Mosermandl (alt. 2,680 m). The Radstaedter Tauern 
Mountains are part of the Central Alps and have a very complex 
geological nappe structure consisting of crystalline schists and 
limestone at the end of the  Tauern window, with rocky summits and 
ridges bordered by detrital slopes. Although the mountains are 
non-glaciated, many have cirques and cirque lakes formed by ice age 
glaciation. Roads: Tauernautobahn A10, Radstaedter Tauern Road 
(from Radstadt in Ennstal Valley via the Radstaedter Tauern Pass 
to Mauterndorf in the Lungau region). Mountain refuges: Franz Fischer 
Huette (alt. 2,018 m) located on Lake Zaunersee, 
Tappenkarseehuette (alt. 1,820 m), Suedwiener Huette (alt. 
1,802 m); ski resorts near Wagrain and Grossarl ("Wagrainer 
Spaziergang" / Wagrain Walk), at Flachauwinkel, 
Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and Obertauern.
