location
The western Seespitze is about six kilometers as the crow flies west of Ranalt in the Stubaital and about ten kilometers east of Gries , a district of the municipality of Längenfeld in the Sulztal . The mountain is surrounded by glaciers all around . In the south lies below the Hochmoosferner , in the west the Alpeiner Ferner and in the northeast the Seespitzferner .
First ascent
The Alpine Club Guide documents a first ascent on July 29, 1895 by Karl and Rosa Kirschbaum, J. Pfurtscheller (Burgeler), when they crossed the ridge from the Eastern to the Western Seespitze to the Ruderhofspitze.
Base and paths
The normal route to the Westliche Seespitze leads from the south from the Hochmoosscharte or the Hochmoosferner over snow and scree to the summit. The base for this route is the Franz-Senn-Hütte to the northeast at an altitude of 2147 meters or the Neue Regensburger Hütte to the east . From both bases you can only reach this high gap via glaciated terrain. In winter, this route can also be used as a ski tour, whereby the ascent to the summit is always possible with skis in good conditions.
