Lermoos is a municipality in the district of Reutte in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It consists of two subdivisions: Unterdorf and Oberdorf. Lermoos is most popular for its skiing and snowboarding in the winter and is very popular resort in the Zugspitze Arena. The town has many hotels.

There is good public transport to Lermoos and buses for skiers running around the resorts. There is also a train station (DB Regio) to connect to larger towns e.g. Garmisch Partenkirchen and Reutte. Mentions of Lermoos date as far back as 1073, but may be older do to the presence of an ancient Roman road, the Via Claudia.

The Zugspitzebahn was the first wire ropeway to open the summit of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain on the border of Austria. Designed and built by Adolf Bleichert & Co. of Leipzig, Germany, the system was a record-holder for the highest altitude.

The Füssen-Plansee work camp was a work camp that was attached to the Dachau concentration camp during World War II. It was situated in the Forelle Hotel, on the banks of the Plansee, an Austrian lake near the border of Bavaria. The occupants were principally government leaders (military, politicians, bureaucrats), imprisoned in early 1943 and released in 1945.At least two beds were placed in each room and the facility was partially heated. The personnalités-otages - hostage persons had a library that was provided by the Red Cross.

The Sonnenspitze, also Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze, is a mountain, 2,417 m (AA) high, in the Mieming Chain in the Austrian state of Tyrol with a subpeak, the Signalgipfel (2,412 m) to the south. An ascent of the Sonnenspitze is one of the most popular tours of the Mieming Chain.

Plansee is a lake in Reutte District, Tyrol, Austria, located at 47°28′10″N 10°48′20″E. Its surface is approximately 2.87 km² and its maximum depth is 78 metres. It lies on Austrian Federal Highway B 179, which crosses the Ammersattel into Germany.

The Seebensee is a natural high mountain lake (an ice-age affected, rock basin lake) at a height of 1,657 metres, south of Ehrwald in the Mieming Range. It is surrounded by the Vorderer Tajakopf in the east, the Vorderer Drachenkopf in the south and the Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze in the west. The Seebensee has no significant above-ground inflows and one outflow via the Seebenbach Falls and the Geißbach into the Loisach river. The lake may be reached from Ehrwald on a forest track via the Ehrwalder Alm, via the Seeben Klettersteig, a difficult klettersteig, or via one of the two protected mountain trails Hoher Gang or Immensteig. From Biberwier, the lake may be reached via the arête of the Biberwierer Scharte, and from Leutasch through the Gaistal valley. Near the lake (to the northeast) lies the managed alpine pasture of Seebenalm. To the south on a rock terrace above the lake is the Coburger Hut owned by the German Alpine Club. The surface of the lake covers around 6.5 hectares, but it used to be larger. As a result of soil and vegetation analyses it has been deduced that there was a large area southeast of the lake which used to be part of it (today easily visible, especially from above, as a mainly grassy plain) but which has now silted up.

The Geierköpfe form a triple-summited mountain massif in the Ammergau Alps in Tyrol, Austria. The main summit is 2,161 m (AA) high, the West Top 2,143 m high and the East Top 2,060 m. The summit group is located southwest of the Ammer Saddle. The West Top can be climbed either from the Plansee lake or from a small car park on the road linking the Plansee via the Ammer Saddle to Schloss Linderhof (ca. 2 km south of Hotel Ammerwald on the bridge over the Teufelsbach) in about 3½ hours. This is an easy mountain tour; only at a few places just below the summit is there a requirement to use hands as well as feet. The crossing from West Top to the main summit is rather more challenging and requires sure-footedness and a head for heights. The arête walk from the main summit to the East Top requires sure-footed negotiation of schrofen terrain and, at one spot, climbing to grade II standard and is only recommended for experienced mountaineers. The West Top can also be ascended from the Ammer Saddle as an interesting ski tour. Because of the dense belt of mountain pine, however, a high level of snow is needed. The descent from the gully at the exit to the cirque on the north side is sometimes rather tricky. If there is little snow (when it is very steep) or the snow is hard, ice picks and crampons are recommended.

The Coburger Hut (German: Coburger Hütte) is an Alpine hut owned by the Coburg Branch of the German Alpine Club. It is located in the Mieming Range in the Austrian state of Tyrol and lies only a few metres in height above the lake of Drachensee. The accommodation is generally open from June to early October and there is a winter room.

The Wiener-Neustädter Hut is an Alpine hut belonging to the Austrian Tourist Club on the edge of the Austrian Schneekar ("Snow Cirque") in the west face of the Zugspitze at 2,213 metres above sea level (2,209 m according to other sources). The hut is resupplied by the Tyrolean Zugspitze Cable Car, whose cables run directly over the hut. It was built in 1884, after the klettersteig to the Zugspitze had been secured in 1879.
