Hoher Seeblaskogel, Alpine summit in Stubai Alps, Tyrol, Austria
Hoher Seeblaskogel is an alpine summit in the Stubai Alps, Tyrol, Austria, rising to 3,235 meters with glaciers on multiple sides. The southern side features the Grüne-Tatzen glacier, while the northern face displays steep rock walls with ice fields.
The sources document no first ascent date or climbers. The mountain's recorded history is one of routes: the two easiest approaches come from the Winnebachsee Hut and the Westfalenhaus, meeting on the Grüne-Tatzen-Ferner glacier before the exposed eastern arête (UIAA I). The north face is graded UIAA IV and requires roped climbing.
The name combines German See (lake) and Blas, a term for a bare, rounded knoll, with the adjective hoch (high). The nearby Winnebachsee lake and the Winnebachsee Hut below the massif are what visitors connect with the name; the summit itself carries no lake.
Climbers access the summit via two main routes starting from Winnebachsee Hut or Westfalenhaus, with both paths converging at the Grüne-Tatzen-Ferner glacier. Both routes require experience with glacier travel and climbing skills.
In winter a snow cornice often forms on the crest of the ridge; the sources record that it has led to several fatal mountaineering accidents in the past. The two easiest routes meet on the south side and share the exposed eastern arête, rated UIAA grade I.
