The Kasereck, at 2,740 m (AA), is one of the highest peaks of the Schladming Tauern and thus also the Lower Tauern. It is the most prominent summit on the crest that runs from the Hochgolling southwards and separates the valleys of Göriachtal in the west and Lessachtal in the east. Geographically this mountain lies in Salzburg state and is most easily climbed from Göriach in the Lungau.
