The Seebodenspitze peak rises above Haidersee Lake in the upper Venosta valley. The mountain is particularly popular as it is not necessary to start the hike in the valley but from the Haideralm/Malga S. Valentino at 2,100m, which can be reached by cable car from St. Valentin. Walk from the Haideralm through the pine forest and across grazing grounds on the gently rising, then steepening climb signposted no. 10 up to the “Schwarzer Kofel”. Cross large rocks on the ridge and from there walk to the summit. From the summit enjoy the far-reaching mountain landscape of the upper Inntal valley and upper Vinschgau valley. Descend via a small detour (“Three Lakes”) back to the Haideralm.

The most beautiful view of the Rieserferner mountain range…

The Sossental valley is steep, isolated and rocky. It diverges from the busy path which leads to the Knuttenalm and the valley is more easily accessible ascending rather than descending it. At the Sossenjoch saddle the wow-factor: the panoramic view to the mighty glaciers such as Hochgall, Wildgall, Magerstein and Schneebiger Nock takes our breath away. The Kofler lakes invite
us to have a rest, because the sight of the Rieserferner mountains from there is one of the most beautiful in the entire Tauferer Ahrntal valley. This trip can be also recommended on hot summer days as the ascent through the Sossental lies mostly in the shade.
