Description

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.

If you would like to join me on this full day adventure, please contact me.

And if you would like to climb another peak in Austria, I can also guide you on this ascent of Ankogel.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
