Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
From Seekarsee it goes very steep up to an old out of stone made hut. Later, you have to cross rocks and plates. After a few meters of altitude, the ascent begins via layered steps, the so-called Himmelsleiter. If you reach the ridge height, it is only a short walk to the already visible Hochstubaihütte.
The descent is via the same route (about 2.5 hours) or via the Laubkarsee to the Kleblealm (3 hours)
