Length:

2 days

Difficulty:


Participants

1-4 Persons

Racy ski tour from the Langtalereckhütte to the beautifully shaped Mittlerer Seelenkogel, the summit ascent of which can be quite difficult depending on the conditions. Wonderful 360° panoramic view from the exposed summit and especially of the mighty Wasserfallferner with the Hinterer Seelenkogel to the south. The descent directly from the summit via Seelenferner into the Langtal promises pure downhill enjoyment in the right conditions.

Duration:
2 days

Day 1, option 1:
Independent ascent from Obergurgl via the Schönwieshütte and the Gurgler Almhütte to the Langtalereckhütte.
The ascent begins along the ski pistes and continues on the prepared path to the Schönwieshütte. Then follow the piste groomer track marked with poles to the Langtalereckhütte.
Note: Although the trail to the hut from the Schönwieshütte is marked and often groomed, it is not secured against alpine dangers such as avalanches.
It is essential to enquire about the current conditions with us before starting!
The meeting with the mountain guide takes place for dinner at the hut.

Day 1, option 2:
We are also happy to accompany you from Obergurgl. Meeting point is at noon in Obergurgl.
Additional costs: from €250 (for up to 4 people).

Day 1, option 3:
Would you like to climb a summit on the first day?
The Hangerer is practically on the way, and crossing the Eisseekögele would also be an interesting alternative.
Additional costs: from €400 (depending on the number of people).

Day 2:
Early start, ascent via the Vordere Ackerlen to the Seelenferner. Via this to the foot of the summit structure. Depending on conditions, difficult via the steep north-west flank or on foot via the north ridge in easy climbing to the summit of the Mittlerer Seelenkogel.
Steep descent via the north-west flank or descent via the north ridge back to the ski depot. Ideal ski slopes down to the Langtal and short ascent back to the Langtalereckhütte.
