The Hohe Tauern or High Tauern (pl.) (Italian: Alti Tauri) are a mountain range on the main chain of the Central Eastern Alps comprising the highest peaks east of the Brenner Pass. The crest forms the southern border of the Austrian state of Salzburg with Carinthia and East Tyrol while a small part in the southwest belongs to the Italian province of South Tyrol. The range includes Austria’s highest mountain the Grossglockner. For the etymology of the name see Tauern.
