Geography
According to the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps, the Salzkammergut Mountains (AVE 17a) lie to the east of the Berchtesgaden Alps and the city of Salzburg.
To the north the Austrian Alpine Foreland is the boundary, between the points where the rivers Salzach and Traun spill out into the Foreland near Salzburg and Gmunden respectively. To the east the boundary with the Upper Austrian Prealps is formed by the Traun between the lakes of Traunsee and, further downstream, with the Totes Gebirge by the Lake Hallstatt on the foot of the Dachstein Mountains. To the south the border runs from Lake Hallstatt up the Gosau Valley to Gschütt Pass, and from there downhill along the Rußbach Valley, separating the Salzkammergut Mountains from the Tennengebirge in the southwest, and the Lammer creek to its confluence with the Salzach near Golling. To the west the boundary runs along the River Salzach from where it is joined by the Lammer down to the city of Salzburg.
The highest peak with an elevation of 2,027 m (6,650 ft) is Mt. Gamsfeld near Gschütt Pass in the south, the only two-thousander of the range. The best-known mountain however is the prominent Schafberg 1,782 m (5,846 ft) on Wolfgangsee, with access to the summit provided by the Schafberg Railway.

[de] Salzkammergut-Berge
Die Salzkammergut-Berge (meist Osterhorngruppe genannt) sind eine Gebirgsgruppe der Nördlichen Kalkalpen in den Ostalpen, umfassen aber am Nordrand auch die Voralpengipfel der Flyschzone. Die Berge befinden sich vollumfänglich in Österreich. Die Berge rund um die Salzorte Bad Ischl und Hallstatt liegen v. a. im Bundesland Oberösterreich, randlich reichen die Berge auch ins Bundesland Salzburg hinein. Historisch besser dürfte den Salzburger Anteil betreffend der inhaltlich sehr ähnliche, weitum übliche Begriff Osterhorngruppe sein.- [en] Salzkammergut Mountains
