The Mittlerer Sonnblick is a 3,000 metre high^[1] sub-peak of the 3,030 metre high Großer Sonnblick, with which it is linked by a knife-edge ridge. It is a border peak between the two Austrian federal states Carinthia and Salzburg in the Ankogel Group, a sub-group of the High Tauern.

The mountain has a prominence of 100 m and an isolation of 660 m,^[2]

The peak has achieved a certain renown, no doubt because it is the easternmost three-thousander in the Alps. It is certainly not wrong to say that the Großer Sonnblick is the easternmost mountain in the Alps that exceeds the 3,000-metre mark, but, in doing so, it must be noted that it is not the eastermost point in the Alps that reaches that height.
