Hochseiler

The Hochseiler rises to 2,793 meters within the Berchtesgaden Alps, forming a natural border between the districts of Zell am See and Sankt Johann im Pongau.

The mountain stands as a geological formation shaped through millions of years of Alpine development, characterized by its distinctive limestone composition and structural features.

Local mountain guides maintain traditional climbing routes through the seasons, passing their knowledge of safe passage techniques to new generations of mountaineers.

Climbers access the summit via the Mooshammersteig path from the north or through the Teufelslöcher route over the Übergossene Alm along the southeastern ridge.

The Bertgenhütte mountain shelter, located 930 meters southwest of the peak, serves as the nearest refuge point for climbers attempting the ascent.
