Trail run Seetal Hochjoch

The Seetal is the loveliest corner of the Hochjoch, and this loop runs right through it. Start at the top station of the Hochjoch cable car by the Kapell restaurant (1,855 m). The path climbs below the Sennigrat chairlift to the Sennigrat, on to the Wormser Hütte (2,307 m, DAV Worms section) and up to the Kreuzjoch (2,395 m) with its summit cross of 1957 – the highest point, with views of the Zamangspitze, Rätikon and Silvretta. Then the path drops into the Seetal: first to the Herzsee, whose heart shape gave it its name, then to the Schwarzsee, and back across the alpine meadows to Kapell. According to the track 7.6 km and 545 m of ascent, guideline 1 hour 55 minutes walking time; the surface is alpine mountain paths with boulders on the Kreuzjoch, broader alp tracks lower down.

You go up with the Hochjoch cable car from Schruns (summer 2026: 13 June to 26 October); to shorten the climb, add the Sennigrat chairlift (20 June to 4 October) and run the loop from the top. Refreshments at the Kapell restaurant and the Wormser Hütte. From our house bus 650 takes you to Schruns in about 15 minutes; the valley station is a five-minute walk from the railway station.
