30HSOA-#30 Hinterer Seelenkogel Map

Starting from the ski resort of Obergurgl, the start is easy on the slopes. Then a classic long old glacier valley starts, but with the beautiful summits around, it is easy to tour up ! The Hinterer Seelenkogel is the last one on the list, but still a nice one ! It is possible to do also the Hochwilde the same day but dont underestimate it, it is long and technical, especially if you want to reach the south summit. The skiing from the Hinterer Seelenkogel to the Langtaler Ferner is enjoyable only a short but exposed and steep section at the beginning requires a good technic and focus.
