The Schareck is the second highest named summit of the Goldberg group after the Hocharn . To the southwest of the summit is the Wurtenkees with the Mölltaler Glacier ski area . The Hochwurtenspeicher of the Fragant power plant group is located below the mountain . To the north, the Schareckkees reaches just up to the summit.

Climbs

  • From the south: from the mountain station of the highest chairlift leading up to the summit in a few minutes
  • The so-called Pröll-Weg (marked) represents a beautiful ascent from the northwest to the summit, which leads from the Niedersachsenhaus over a wide, curved mountain ridge or ridge to the summit. This route in the course of which Neunerkogel ( 2827  m ) and the Duke-Ernst-peak ( 2,933  m ) are exceeded, is in dry and snow-free conditions under condition of slip resistance and vertigo relatively easy to commit (an assured with steps pins climbing point ).
  • From the Schutzhaus Neubau ( Raurisertal / Kolm-Saigurn ), the ascent via the Tauerngold Adventure Trail to the Fraganter Scharte and then to the Herzog-Ernst-Spitze peak can be easily mastered in about 2½ hours (path no. 119). From there you can continue to the summit of the Schareck in about 1 hour. The path is partially exposed (path no.120).
  • From the north-east: From Sportgastein over the Neuwirt-Steig - Aperes Schareck - Schareckkees (danger of crevasses)
