Description

The tour starts at the top station of the Rofan cable car, walk over the ski slope to the Mauritzalm, then continue downhill to the Ortovox educational trail (avalanche beacon checkpoint). After a wide gully in the stepped terrain, follow the summer hiking path in an easterly direction to the Haidachstellwand and via the Grubastiege and a short narrow section to the high plateau (100m before signpost no. 4). At the signpost, walk over the wide ridge under the broad summit slope of the Seekarlspitze. After several hairpin bends you will reach the summit cross. 
The descent follows the ascent route.
