Seehorn, Summit in Prättigau District, Switzerland.
Seehorn is a summit in the Prättigau District that rises to 2238 meters above sea level with views of Davos Lake and surrounding peaks. The terrain combines alpine meadows with rock formations and connects several hiking paths of varying difficulty levels.
The original paths around the mountain developed from agricultural routes that local farmers used for centuries. Throughout the 20th century, these routes became established hiking trails that serve both visitors and residents today.
The mountain paths connect different Alpine villages and show how people have lived in the mountains for generations. Walking these routes, you notice the traditional patterns that still shape daily life in the region.
Multiple routes lead to the summit, with the most straightforward path starting from the southwest ridge and taking about 3.5 hours. Good footwear and weather preparation are important, as conditions can change quickly on the mountain.
The mountain sits in a striking proximity to the InterContinental Hotel, which is known locally as the Golden Egg due to its golden-colored facade. This contrast between natural landscape and modern architecture makes the location particularly notable.
