Seewandkopf 3.024m

The ascent starts at the chapel in the Wallhorn district (1,400 m) and follows the ‘Einheimischen-Aufstieg’ (locals' ascent) via the ‘Hazer Riese’. This ascent uses the summer trail (signposted Bodenalm) and, after a few hairpin bends and curves in the forest, reaches the Grieser Alm. At an iron gate, we rejoin the road after a short stretch of meadow. Taking a shortcut through the forest, we reach the Bodenalm (1,948 m). At the end of the road, signposts guide us along the summer trail into the Timmeltal valley. We cross an icy stream with caution before south-facing slopes lead us to a wooden cross. A slightly descending traverse now takes us down to the valley floor and across the ground. The Eisseehütte (2,500 m) is already visible from a distance as we head towards the hut via a system of gullies and hollows to the left (west side) of the stream. The route now continues eastwards to the moraine ridge and crosses slightly downhill at 2,700 m into a small high valley. From the moraine cone, we take the steep slope on the left, which should not be underestimated due to its steepness and orientation (SSE).
