Pertisau adjoins the nature protection area Karwendel, which is one of the largest nature protection areas in Tyrol (727 km² (281 sq.mi.)). Around Pertisay several two-thousanders such as the Sonnjoch, Lamsenspitze, Dristenkopf and Rappenspitze tower into the sky, between them the woody valley and mountain pastures adjoining Pertisau.
