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

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.
