View from Viggarspitze in NW direction to Patscherkofel (2246 m). The metamorphic rocks forming this part of the Tux Alps, predominantly quartz phyllite, are susceptible to deep-seated gravitational slope deformations, indicated by the numerous back scarps. The central Inn valley with Innsbruck and the Karwendel are shown in the background.
