Summit victories and panoramic trails in summer
After you’ve stepped out of the gondola, it’s only a short walk to the summit of the Schareck mountain. It seems incredible to be able to enjoy such breathtaking views with so little physical exertion. At an altitude of 2600m, you are greeted by a stunning panorama of the Grossglockner and up to 40 of its fellow 3000-metre peaks. A hike along the Geotrail Tauernfenster, which also starts out at the cableway summit station, is a little more demanding: leading up to the Hochtor, it is an alpine hiking trail requiring a good level of surefootedness.
Alpine Cableway Schareck
Even during the summer months, you can benefit from the cableways to experience the beauty of nature in the heart of our mountains. From June to September, they offer convenient access to high-altitude areas in the Grossglockner/Heiligenblut adventure region. In the summer season, holders of a Kärnten Card or a Nationalpark Kärnten Card travel free of charge on the Schareck gondola lift.
