Seebergspitze, Alpine summit in Tyrol, Austria
Seebergspitze is a 2085 m summit on the western shore of Lake Achensee at the eastern edge of the Karwendel in Tyrol. It is linked to the nearby Seekarspitze (2053 m) by a walkable ridge, with the saddle between them at about 1900 m. Its north flank is steeper than the south flank.
The Seebergspitze lies on the eastern rim of the Karwendel, above the west shore of the Achensee. Its south flank is gentler than the steep north flank, which is why the long ridge traverse is usually walked from north to south: from Achenkirch over the Seekarspitze (2053 m) and the saddle at about 1900 m to the Seebergspitze and down to Pertisau. Access routes also run from the Pletzachalm via the Pasillsattel and from the Seekaralm.
The Seebergspitze is climbed from Pertisau, the Pletzachalm in the Gerntal via the Pasillsattel, or from Achenkirch over the Seekaralm and Seekarspitze. The saddle between the Seebergspitze and the Seekarspitze lies at about 1900 m, and a path drops from it to the Pasillalm on the west flank, where a forest road leads on to the Seekaralm.
The full route takes about six hours and requires good mountain hiking experience and proper equipment. Starting early in the morning is wise, as the exposed ridge sections can become hazardous in poor weather conditions.
The saddle between Seebergspitze and the slightly lower Seekarspitze (2053 m) lies at about 1900 m; a path drops from it to the Pasillalm on the west flank, and a forest road continues to the Seekaralm. Because the north flanks are steeper than the south, hikers crossing the massif often go north to south, from Achenkirch over the Seekarspitze to Pertisau.
