Climbing
Normal route	Ascent from the Mölltaler Gletscher Ski Region

The Schareck, a mountain with a height of 3,123 m (AA), lies in the Goldberg Group of the High Tauern in Austria.

The summit is located on the main chain of the Alps, exactly on the border between the states of Carinthia and Salzburg, ca. 4.8 km as the crow flies east-southeast of the Hoher Sonnblick. The Schareck is the second highest summit in the Goldberg range after the Hocharn. Southwest of the summit is the glacier of Wurtenkees and the ski region of Mölltaler Gletscher. Below the mountain is the Hochwurtenspeicher reservoir of the Fragant power station complex. To the north, another glacier, the Schareckkees, reaches to just below the top.

As a result of the opening of the ski region with its lift systems, ascending the Schareck from the south has virtually no climbing merit any longer.
