The Schatzberg is a 1,898-metre-high (6,227 ft) mountain in the

Tyrol
. It is also a winter sports area.

Geography

The Schatzberg is part of a mountain ridge that separates the valley of the

alpine pastures or alms on the Schatzberg. Nearby settlements are Alpbach to the northwest, Inneralpbach to the southwest and Auffach to the northeast.[1][2]

Development

The Schatzberg is accessible on all sides by marked hiking trails. Possible start points include Alpbach, Inneralpbach, Auffach, Thierbach or the Hösljoch (1,390 m).[1][2]

One base for an ascent of the mountain is the mountain inn, Berggasthof Schatzbergalm, which lies northeast of the summit at a height of 1,776 m. It is accessible from Auffach on the Schatzberg Cableway (Schatzbergbahn) of the Wildschönau Mountain Cableways (Wildschönauer Bergbahnen). In winter the eastern flank of the Schatzberg is used as a ski area which has several

chair lifts.[3]

The path from Inneralpbach is a popular and relatively avalanche-safe
