Route description
The Seebodenspitze rises above the S. Valentino Lake in the upper Venosta Valley.
The mountain is particularly popular, because you do not need to start your hike in the valley, as it can be easily reached with the gondola lift from S. Valentino/St. Valentin up to Malga S. Valentino/Haider Alm and therefore ascending up a height of 2,100 m. From Malga S. Valentino through a sparse pine forest and across grazing grounds on the initially only slightly ascending, then fairly steep climb no. 10 up to the “Schwarzer Kofel”. Further across large rocks up the ridge and from there, the wide crest leads to the summit. From the summit, you can see the entire mountain landscape of the upper Inntal Valley and upper Venosta Valley. The descent leads across a small detour via the so-called “Three Lakes” (Drei Seen in German) and then back again to Malga S. Valentino.
