Schober group, Mountain range in Lienz District and Tyrol, Austria
The Schober group is a mountain range in the Central Eastern Alps with multiple peaks and ridges rising across the terrain. The range features steep slopes, rocky formations, and open alpine terrain that characterizes this part of the Eastern Alps.
The range takes its name from Mount Hochschober, one of its principal peaks that gave the massif its identity. The area has long been traversed by mountaineers and alpine explorers seeking to navigate and understand the high terrain.
The range draws mountaineers and hikers who use the scattered alpine huts as gathering and resting points during their expeditions. These shelters form nodes where visitors meet and share experiences while exploring the peaks and surrounding terrain.
The Hochtor Pass provides a main access point via the Grossglockner High Alpine Road on the eastern side of the range. Visitors should prepare for steep terrain and variable mountain weather by wearing appropriate footwear and layered clothing.
The range sits entirely within Hohe Tauern National Park and is ringed by six different mountain chains that set it apart from the surrounding terrain. This positioning creates an isolated high alpine enclave within a larger protected wilderness area.
