Scenic mountain hike to the 2,261-metre-high Seekarlspitze. The summit is reached in around 2 hours and is marked by a striking granite cross.
From the top station of the Rofan cable car, walk past the Mauritzalm mountain hut to the Grubastiege and continue to the Grubalacke. Keep left and walk below the southern wall of the Rosskopf until you reach the col between Seekarlspitze and Rosskopf. Climb over the steep step to the summit of the Seekarl (secured with ropes, 2,261 metres). From here, walk over alpine meadows to the ascent of the Spieljoch. The ascent to the southern ridge and to the summit (2,236 metres) is also secured with ropes. The descent from the Spieljoch leads over an alpine meadow which lies to the south of the summit. Follow a short switchback trail until you reach the path that takes you back to the top station of the Rofan cable car.
Take the regional bus to Maurach (line 8332, 4080 or 390) and get off at the "Maurach a. A. Rofan Seilbahn" stop.
Car park Rofan Seilbahn 1 or 2 (paid parking; Rofan cable car passengers receive a refund at the ticket office).
