Glacier hike to the Seethalerhütte

Scenic walk following the groomed track from the Hunerkogel Mountain Station to the west, past the Dirndl and onwards to the Seethalerhütte. 

A fascinating glacier walk to the largest kolk of the Eastern Alps: a large snow ridge surrounds the "Dirndl" which rise like a ship bow from the glacier.  Go straight ahead towards the Dachstein and the groomed track will lead you to the Seethalerhütte. This mountain hut was originally built as a mountain shelter for mountaineers and offers a stunning view of the Dachstein Südwand (south face). Walk back the same way.
