Hut hike Oberseitsee - Seespitze 3.021 m

St. Jakob im Defereggental / Venediger Group
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 14.4 km
Duration: 8:30 h

A lake, a peak and a 360-degree view of the greats of the Alps. Although the Seespitze is the easiest 3,000-metre peak in the area to climb, it can deliver just as much as its bigger siblings.

Tour character

One of the easiest 3,000 m peaks to climb in Defereggen Valley, but one that still requires practice. Climb steadily upwards over meadow slopes and via a path to Oberseitsee, then on a steeper and slightly exposed path over a secured passage to the Seespitze. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential for black mountain trails such as this tour.

Description

From Trogach on the forest trail to Gasserkofel, continuing via the meadow slopes to the Seespitzhütte (2327 m). There is a signposted path to the superb Oberseitsee (2576 m), which formed into a wide corrie trough after the glaciers retreated. To the west, past the lake, a steep path with a rope-secured section to the summit of the Seespitze, the most impressive viewing mountain on the Panargenkamm.
