The Expedition in Tyrol was carried out in the spring of 1797, during the final phases of the Italian campaign, when Napoleon Bonaparte decided to launch the final attack against the Holy Roman Empire.
While Napoleon launched an attack towards Austria through Friuli and the Tarvisio pass, a secondary army was ordered to cross Tyrol, and then rejoined with the bulk of the forces in the Drava valley.
