From the north and south the Seehorn is seen as a beautiful pyramid. An exposed summit, but with solid rock and very well secured, varied climbing, on the border ... in short, this is a very rewarding tour destination, that requires little effort to reach.
Route description
Seetal hut - Seelücke
From the Seetal hut, head northwards on the footpath to pass right of the Schottensee. Bear eastwards in the direction of the See glacier, but keep left (north) of it until you rech the Seelücke (pass).
Seelücke - Gross Seehorn
From the Seelücke traverse southwards onto the Seegletscher, then arc slowly leftwards over the snowfield or scree slope until high up on the west side of the mountain. About half way up the face, follow gullies and ledges back north, up into a gap on the NW ridge. Continue along the ridge, later over ledges on the N side easily to the summit.
Descent
Follow the route of ascent.
