Schareck, Mountain summit in Heiligenblut, Austria.

Schareck is a mountain summit in the Goldberg Group that rises to 2606 meters and offers panoramic views across the surrounding peaks of the Hohe Tauern range. The peak stands among rocky terrain with access paths leading to its ridges.

The Schareck is reached by a cable car from Heiligenblut with an intermediate station on the south side of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road; the mountain station houses a restaurant. The summit cross and the highest point, marked with information boards, lie a short walk from the station. The sources consulted give no construction date for the lift.

The summit cross and the highest point, marked with information boards, stand a short walk from the top station of the cable car that climbs from Heiligenblut. A mountain restaurant at the station serves visitors arriving on foot or by lift.

The cable car operates from June to September and brings visitors directly uphill. Conditions change noticeably during the ascent, so warm layers and sturdy footwear help make the visit more comfortable.

The summit lies entirely in Carinthia, just south of the Alpine main ridge, unlike the higher mountain of the same name in the Goldberg Group. A cable car from Heiligenblut has an intermediate station on the south side of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, and from the top station a restaurant, the summit cross and the highest point with information boards are all within easy reach.
