Route description
From the Wanser Hof parking lot skirt the edge of the forest (15) passing the Sailer Hof farm on the left. Then cross a bridge over the river and follow the farm road (southwards) for about 1 km into the valley (12, 15). Turn left over the stream (north-east, then southeast) and continue along the forest road to the Seebergalm mountain pasture, before reaching the Seebergsee mountain lake higher up (15). From there, proceed northeast along the small trail (15) as it bends to the left over a steep ridge covered in alpine roses. Continue (southwards) along the right-hand slope roughly 200 meters below the summit and cross over a steep mountain meadow to reach the imposing cross on the top. To return, follow the same route back down to Seebergsee lake (15), then via the Seebergalm, and through the Sailertal valley to the Wanserhof farm parking lot (15,12).
