Hinterer Seelenkogel 3472m from the Langtalereckhütte

A grandiose ski tour with a wonderful crossing option with the descent via the steep Wasserfallferner into the Rotmoostal valley. From the summit, fantastic views down to Pfelders and south to the Texel Group and the Dolomites. Wonderful firn slopes await us on the descent to the hut in the Langtal valley. A racy and challenging descent over Wasserfallferner into the Rotmoostal awaits us on a traverse. In good conditions an absolute dream descent!
