The 'Zillertal Alps' (German: ''Zillertaler Alpen''; Italian: ''Alpi Aurine'') are a mountain range of the Alps on the border of Austria and Italy. The range is named after the Zillertal (Ziller river valley), on its north. It is part of the Central Eastern Alps.
The range is bounded by the Tuxerjoch pass to the north (separating it from the Tux Alps); the Birnlücke-Forcella del Picco Pass to the east (separating it from the Hohe Tauern); the Isarco river and its tributary Rienz-Rienza to the south (separating it from the Southern Limestone Alps); the Brenner Pass to the west (separating it from the Stubai Alps).
