Lasörling
The Lasörling is a mountain, , and the highest summit in the eponymous range that stretches from the Virgental to the Defereggental valleys opposite the Großvenediger. Occasionally the mountain is also called the "''Großer'' Lasörling" ("Great Lasörling) because it has a double summit - its southeast top reaching a height of . The main top was formerly also called the ''Bergerspitze'', and the southeast top the ''Musspitze'' or ''Virgen Lasörling''.Peterka/End 1982, Randzahl 1381 The easiest ascent of the mountain begins in the valley of Virgental and runs through the Mullitztal valley to the Lasörling Hut. This climb is glacier-free, but requires sure-footedness and has climbing sections rated at grade I. Name The name "Lasörling" refers to the appearance of the mountain: ''Arl(ing)'' is an old German word for ploughshare or plough and stems from the Old Germanic word or loanword from the Slovene word ''oralnik''. Around 1531, the mountain was still recorded ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lasörling Group
The Lasörling Group () is a subgroup of the Central Alps within the Eastern Alps. The boundaries of this mountain range in East Tyrol are principally delineated by the valleys of the Virgental in the north and the Defereggental in the south. According to the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps, agreement by the Alpine clubs in 1984 the Lasörling Group is part of the Venediger Group, forming its southeastern part. In older classifications of the Eastern Alps, the Lasörling Group was counted as part of the Defereggen Mountains (Villgraten Mountains). The highest summit of the Lasörling Group is the Lasörling () which gives the range its name. Sometimes the neighbouring Panargenkamm is also seen as part of the Lasörling group. Its highest mountain is the Keeseck (). Municipalities within which the Lasörling Group falls are Matrei in Osttirol, Virgen and Prägraten am Großvenediger in the Virgental, and (Hopfgarten in Defereggen, Hopfgarten, Sankt Veit in Defereggen, ...

Venediger Group
The Venediger Group () is a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps. Together with the Granatspitze Group, the Glockner Group, the Goldberg Group, and the Ankogel Group, it forms the main ridge of the High Tauern. The highest peak is the Großvenediger at , which gives its name to the group. Considerable parts of the Venediger Group belong to the core zone of the High Tauern National parks of Austria, National Park. Geography The Venediger Group is located in Austria in the federal states of Salzburg (Bundesland), Salzburg and Tyrol (Bundesland), Tyrol, and also in Italy in the autonomous province of South Tyrol. The greater part of the range lies in East Tyrol. The Venediger Group includes the western part of the main chain of the High Tauern range. The Felber Tauern pass road runs across the Main chain of the Alps, Alpine crest between Salzburg and East Tyrol on the eastern side of the range. The Venediger Group is the most Glacier, glaciated mountain range in the High Ta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Mountains Of The Alps Above 3000 M
This page tabulates only the most prominent mountains of the Alps, selected for having a topographic prominence of ''at least'' , all exceeding in height. Although the list contains 537 summits, some significant alpine mountains are necessarily excluded for failing to meet the stringent prominence criterion. The list of these most prominent mountains is continued down to 2500 m elevation at List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2500–2999 m) and down to 2000 m elevation on List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2000–2499 m). All such mountains are located in France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany or Slovenia, even in some lower regions. Together, these lists include all 44 List of Alpine peaks by prominence, ultra-prominent peaks of the Alps, with 19 ultras over 3000m on this page.

Defereggental
The Defereggen Valley (), or simply Defereggen (), is the middle of the three East Tyrolean high mountain valleys running from east to west. Its parallel-running neighbours are the Puster Valley and the Virgen Valley. The Defereggen Valley is linked by a road called the Defereggentalstraße. Its name is derived from the Celtic word ''dubar'' (black, dark) or from the Slavic ''dober'' (good).Hannes Hintermeier in FAZ.Net''Hat's passt? Passt schon!''(no date; read: end April 2011) It lies in the High Tauern National Park and is surrounded by the peaks of the Defereggen range, the Rieserferner Group, the Lasörling Group and the Schober Group. The Schwarzach river flows through the valley. There are three municipalities in the valley: Hopfgarten in Defereggen, St. Veit in Defereggen and St. Jakob in Defereggen. The Defereggen Valley has been settled since the 7th century by settlers who entered it over the Staller Saddle and the Klammljoch, both crossings into the present ...

Old Germanic
Proto-Germanic (abbreviated PGmc; also called Common Germanic) is the reconstructed proto-language of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European languages. Proto-Germanic eventually developed from pre-Proto-Germanic into three Germanic branches during the fifth century BC to fifth century AD: West Germanic, East Germanic and North Germanic. North Germanic remained in contact with the other branches over a considerable time, especially with the Ingvaeonic languages (including English), which arose from West Germanic dialects, and had remained in contact with the Norse. A defining feature of Proto-Germanic is the completion of the process described by Grimm's law, a set of sound changes that occurred between its status as a dialect of Proto-Indo-European and its gradual divergence into a separate language. The end of the Common Germanic period is reached with the beginning of the Migration Period in the fourth century AD. The alternative term " Germanic parent language" may ...

Alpine Three-thousanders
Three-thousanders are mountains with a height of between , but less than above sea level. Similar terms are commonly used for mountains of other height brackets e. g. four-thousanders or eight-thousanders. In Britain, the term refers to mountains above . Climatological significance In temperate latitudes three-thousanders play an important role, because even in summer they lie below the zero degree line for weeks. Thus the chains of three-thousanders always form important climatic divides and support glaciation - in the Alps the contour is roughly the general limit of the "nival step"; only a few glaciated mountains are under (the Dachstein, the easternmost glaciated mountain in the Alps, is, at , not a three-thousander). In the Mediterranean, however, the three-thousanders remain free of ice and, in the tropics, they are almost insignificant from a climatic perspective; here the snow line lies at around to , and in the dry continental areas (Trans-Himalayas, Andes) it ...

Arête
An arête ( ; ) is a narrow ridge of rock that separates two valleys. It is typically formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys. Arêtes can also form when two glacial cirques erode headwards towards one another, although frequently this results in a saddle-shaped pass, called a col. The edge is then sharpened by freeze-thaw weathering, and the slope on either side of the arête steepened through mass wasting events and the erosion of exposed, unstable rock. The word ''arête'' is French for "edge" or "ridge"; similar features in the Alps are often described with the German equivalent term ''Grat''. Where three or more cirques meet, a pyramidal peak is created. Cleaver A cleaver is a type of arête that separates a unified flow of glacial ice from its uphill side into two glaciers flanking, and flowing parallel to, the ridge, analogous to an exposed mid-channel bar in a braided river. Cleaver gets its name from the way it resembles a meat cleaver slicin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Normal Route
A normal route or normal way (; ) is the most frequently used climbing route for ascending and descending a given mountain peak; it is usually the easiest and often the most straightforward route. Other generic names include the ''Tourism, tourist route'' or ''trade route'', and some climbing routes have specific 'normal route' names such as the "Yak Route" on Mount Everest.
