The Hoher Seeblaskogel from the northeast

The Hoher Seeblaskogel is a mountain, 3,235 m above sea level (AA), in the western part of the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Its independent summit lies between the cols of Winnebachjoch and Bachfallenscharte. To the south the Grüne-Tatzen glacier climbs to just below the summit. The Seeblaskogel has rock faces on all sides, below which lie the glaciers of Ochsenkarferner to the north and Seeblaskogelferner to the east.

The summit may be reached either from the Winnebachsee Hut or the Westfalenhaus. The two easiest routes from these huts both meet in an approach from the south over the relatively safe Grüne-Tatzen-Ferner glacier before making their way along the rather exposed eastern arête classified as UIAA grade I. All other routes, especially the north face (UIAA grade IV) involve climbing.
