The Vordere Seekopf ( 3280  m above sea level ) is a mountain peak of the Eichhamstock in the Venediger Group in East Tyrol ( Austria ). It lies on the border between the communities of Matrei in East Tyrol and Prägraten am Großvenediger . Neighboring peaks are the Weißspitze in the northwest and the Hintere Seekopf in the east. The first ascent took place on July 28, 1905 by I. Heckenbleickner and E. Franzelin.

location

The Vordere Seekopf is located in the north of the Eichhamstock in the core zone of the Hohe Tauern National Park . South-east, the valley of is ice sea with the Eisseehütte and Timmeltal , in the north-east the Löbbental with Baden's hut and to the east the Frosnitztal . With the only slightly higher, northwestern Weissspitze 3300  m above sea level. A. the Vordere Seekopf is connected by the northwest ridge, with the Hinteren Seekopf by the southeast ridge. In addition, there are no mountain ridges. The Garaneberkees stretches between the Weißspitze, the Seeköpf and the Hexenköpf, in the north is the mighty Frosnitzkees .

Promotion opportunities

The front Seekopf is an alpine subordinate mountain, but also serves as a winter destination. The normal route to the Vorderen Seekopf is via the Hinteren Seekopf. This is climbed from the Eisseehütte over the Eissee, whereby the ascent then leads pathless to the east over Steinhalden in the direction of the Seekopfscharte. Before the beginning of the Garaneberkees, the ascent is left keeping in a direct line to the summit of the Niederen Seekopf. Then the Vordere Seekopf can be climbed over the almost level, around 500-meter-long connecting ridge.

As an alternative to the first ascent, the Seekopf can also be climbed from the Wallhorntörl, whereby the Garaneberkees is climbed here and the snowy steep slope or the northwest ridge between Weißspitze and Seekopf is used (difficulty I according to UIAA ). In addition, the ascent can be done via the northeast climb, which was first used on July 25, 1925 by F. Malcher, W. Natmeßnig and W. Mischitz. Here the ascent takes place from the Badener Hütte over the Frosnitzkees. To the north of the summit fall line runs a Finnrinne, which is accompanied on the right by a ridge over which the ascent takes place. (Difficulty III- according to UIAA).
