The **Schatzberg** is a 1,898-metre (6,227-foot) mountain in the [Kitzbühel Alps](/source/Kitzb%C3%BChel_Alps) in the Austrian state of [Tyrol](/source/Tyrol_(state)). It is also a winter sports area.

## Geography

The Schatzberg is part of a mountain ridge that separates the valley of the [Alpbachtal](/source/Alpbachtal) in the west from the [Wildschönau](/source/Wildsch%C3%B6nau) in the east. Its neighbouring peaks are the 1,964 m high [Joelspitze](/source/Joelspitze) to the south and the 1,899 m high [Gratlspitze](/source/Gratlspitze) to the northwest. On its western side the Schatzberg is forested to just below the summit, on the eastern side the [tree line](/source/Tree_line) is about 200 to 300 metres lower. There are many [alpine pastures](/source/Alpine_pasture) or *alms* on the Schatzberg. Nearby settlements are [Alpbach](/source/Alpbach) to the northwest, [Inneralpbach](/source/Inneralpbach) to the southwest and [Auffach](/source/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](/source/Thierbach_(Wildsch%C3%B6nau)) 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](/source/Chair_lift).[3]

The path from Inneralpbach is a popular and relatively avalanche-safe [ski tour](/source/Ski_tour).[4]
