Petzeck (3,283m) is the highest mountain of the Schober Group in the High Tauern range, Austria. The mountain has a 1,000m high north face but its southern slope is more gentle, with lakes such as Kreuzsee and Wangenitzsee on its slopes. Its south western slope is glaciated.[3]

The mountain is quieter than its near neighbours such as Grossglockner or Hoher Sonnblick.[3]
