The '''Schlern''' ({{IPA|de-AT|ʃlɛrn|lang}}; {{langx|it|Sciliar}} {{IPA|it|ʃiˈljar|}}; {{langx|lld|Sciliër}}; 2,563 m) is a [mountain](/source/mountain) of the [Dolomites](/source/Dolomites) in [South Tyrol](/source/South_Tyrol), [Italy](/source/Italy).<ref>{{cite web | title=Schlern Mountain
| website=seiseralm.it| url=https://www.seiseralm.it/en/experiences-culinary/discovering/highlights-sights/rid-FFEA721AD0234B74BE9976359F26441D-p-schlern-mountain.html | access-date=23 February 2024}}</ref> The peak at the north west end of the mountain (left, in the image at right) was first ascended in July 1880 by [Johann Santner](/source/Johann_Santner).  It is named the Santner Spitze in his honour.

The Schlern dominates the villages of [Seis am Schlern](/source/Seis_am_Schlern) and [Völs am Schlern](/source/V%C3%B6ls_am_Schlern), and the summit can be reached following the circular route marked with the number 1 from both villages.

At {{convert|1700|m|ft|0}}, there is the ''Schlernboden'' inn and on the summit plateau is the ''Schlernhaus'' inn {{convert|2457|m|ft|0}}, both open from 1 June to 15 October. The highest summit is the Petz with {{convert|2564|m|ft|0}}.

The Schlern is sung of in the ''[Bozner Bergsteigerlied](/source/Bozner_Bergsteigerlied)'' as one of South Tyrol's landmarks. Its characteristic profile appears on the [''Der Schlern - Zeitschrift für Südtiroler Landeskunde''](/source/Der_Schlern) (Magazine for [South Tyrol](/source/South_Tyrol)ean Regional Studies) and the logo pressed into [Loacker](/source/Loacker)'s [wafer](/source/Wafer_(cooking)) biscuits.

==Toponymy==
The [etymology](/source/etymology) of the mount probably predates Germanic and even Roman times, from a common [Old European](/source/Old_European_languages) root ''*sala'' ("stream, ditch, canal, etc.", from the locale around it). The name was borrowed and [Germanized](/source/Germanized) over centuries (and to this day, a [Bavarian](/source/Bavarian_language) dialect variant is written with the initial [palatized](/source/Palatalization_(phonetics)) ''Sch-'', but the original ''S-''). However, a [Proto-Indo-European](/source/Proto-Indo-European) root ''*skel'' ("to cut", referring to the cliffside geology) has also been proposed.
