Extremely rewarding summit, once known as the "3000m+ mountain for ladies". The footpath through the Dösen valley is uniquely beautiful because of its picturesque mountain lake - but it is also long. Consequently we recommend staying overnight at the "Schmidt House"!

Travel to Mallnitz
From Mallnitz, head towards the top of the valley, and turn left (northbound) in the direction of the Dösen valley immediately after the railway station. Then uphill as far as the car park, on a road with a number of hair-pin bends.

From the car park, past the Konradlacke pool (1,616 m), and by way of two distinctive scarps – between them lies the picturesque "Lackenboden" – to Arthur von Schmid House (2,275 m), on the shore of the Dösen lake. Continue along the footpath (no. 534) up to the glacier-formed plateau of the Seealm alpine pasture; and then skirt around the massive peak formation, to the pretty steep, boulder-strewn southern ridge that will lead you directly up to the prominent summit.
