Ortler (]; ]) is, at above sea level, the highest mountain in the Eastern Alps outside the Bernina Range. It is the main peak of the Ortler Range. It is the highest point of the Southern Limestone Alps, of South Tyrol in Italy, of Tyrol overall, and, until 1919, of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. In German the mountain is commonly referred to as König Ortler (King Ortler), like in the unofficial hymn of South Tyrol, the Bozner Bergsteigerlied.
