The Schattberg is the local mountain for the Pinzgau parish of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, that lies about 3 kilometres to the north. It forms the end of a mountain ridge that runs from the 2,249 m high Hochkogel over the 2,092 m high Saalbachkogel and the 2,123 m high Stemmerkogel to the north. To the west is the Schwarzachgraben stream, to the east the valley of the Löhnersbach which descends into the Glemmtal. The mountain has three peaks: the West Schattberg (Schattberg West) 2,096 m, the Middle Schattberg (Mittelgipfel) 2,097 m and the East Schattberg (Schattberg-Ost) 2,018 m, which is northeast of the Dillinger Eck (1,875 m).
