The Great Seehorn is 3121 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Silvretta on the border between Austria and Switzerland and has a magnificent, slightly horn-like pyramidal shape. The first ascent took place on August 26, 1869 by the pharmacist Schoch, Florian Brosi and Emil Hauser, who were actively supported by the guides Christian Jann and Chr. Jegen.
The normal ascent leads from the Saarbrücker Hütte ( DAV ) over the Seelücke (2776 m) and the western flank or the uppermost northwest ridge to the summit (II and I).
The Große Seehorn and the Großlitzner , which are separated by the Litzner-Hochjoch (approx. 2960 m), are considered the most beautiful pair of peaks in the Silvretta. A popular climbing tour is crossing both mountains from east to west (II and III).
To the west is the Chlein Seehorn ( 3,032 m above sea level ), which lies entirely on Swiss territory.
