Schareck Mountain, Austria, Guided Ascent

The Schareck mountain (3,123m) is the second highest mountain in the Goldberg range, after the Hocharn (3,254m).

Located on the border between the Austrian states of Carinthia and Salzburg, the Schareck mountain provides fantastic views of the surrounding Alps. You also can see the Wurtenkees glacier and the Schareckkees glacier.

On this trip, the climb will be more a scenic adventure, as opposed to a technical ascent. However, some climbing experience is necessary, as there are some tough spots that will require rope. The ascent and descent will take between 8 and 10 hours.

The trip will begin at the Valeriehaus (1,580). From there we will go west along the Siglilztal until we reach Hunsruck. After that we will go over the Bahlsen-Weg to the Niedersachsenhaus (2,472m). After leaving the Niedersachsenhaus, we will climb over the Nordwestgrat. From this point, the views of the landscape are absolutely stunning. We will continue on by crossing the Neuenerkogel and the Herzogspitze peak until we reach the summit of Schareck.

Schareck is the kind of peak that has many paths one can take to reach its summit. However, on the path I will guide you on, I believe you will get to truly absorb and appreciate the beauty of the Goldberg mountain range.
