The Tyrol Schistose Alps (Tiroler Schieferalpen in German) is the proposed name for a subdivision of mountain ranges in a new, and as yet unadopted, classification of the Alps, located in Austria.
Administratively the range belongs to the Austrian state of Tyrol and, marginally, of Salzburg. The whole range is drained by the tributaries of the Danube river.
According to SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the mountain range is an Alpine section, classified in the following way: [2]
The range is divided in two Alpine subsections: [2]
Some notable summits of the range are:
