The Central Eastern Alps are one of three sectors of the Eastern Alps in the international standardized orographic division of the Alps (SOIUSA) according to Sergio Marazzi . They are not congruent with the main part of the Alpine Club division of the Eastern Alps (AVE) of the same name , as this divides the Eastern Alps into four instead of three areas.
Boundary
The border between the Central Eastern Alps and the Northern Eastern Alps runs similar to the AVE from west to east along the line Ill - Alfenz - Arlbergpass - Rosanna - Inn - Sill - Schmirnbach - Tuxer Joch - Tuxbach - Zemmbach - Ziller - Gerlosbach - Gerlospass - Salzach - Wagrainer Ache - Wagrainer Höhe - Enns - Palten - Schoberpass - Liesing - Mur - Mürz - Semmering Pass - Schwarza . However, the AVE counts the Tux Alps and the Kitzbühel Alps among the Central Eastern Alps.
Opposite the Southern Eastern Alps , the border runs along the line Como - Adda - Braulio - Stilfser Joch - Trafoier Bach - Etsch - Eisack - Rienz - Toblacher Sattel - Drau . In contrast, the AVE counts the area south of the Landquart GR - Bormio line to the Western Eastern Alps .
The demarcation to the Western Alps is based on the generally recognized line Como - Mera - Liro - Splügenpass - Hinterrhein - Alpenrhein .
Breakdown
The Central Eastern Alps are divided into six sections.
