The vulture is waiting at the top, but don't worry, this is a metal bird of prey worth seeing and an artistic welcome for all those who have made it to the vulture summit with its great views!

Tour character

The second highest peak in Tux, the Geier (2,857 m), is a difficult one and is one of the seven most spectacular peaks in the Tux Alps. But in return for the effort, it treats its visitors to an overwhelming view. Experienced mountain hikers can reach the Geierspitze from the Stoankasern mountain dairy in around three hours. The Geier can also be climbed from the Lizumer Hütte.
