Shepherds and traders crossed the slopes for generations, using the mountain passes as vital connections. These historic routes still link the surrounding valleys and communities.
The German Alpine Club maintains detailed documentation of Seikogel's routes in their DAV-Alpenvereinskarte maps, supporting mountaineering traditions in the region.
The climb requires solid mountaineering experience and glacier equipment depending on your chosen starting point. It is wise to begin early and monitor weather closely, as conditions change rapidly at this elevation.
