The Sebenkopf is a ridge extension of the 1937 m high Sebenspitze. In the 80s Klaus Tröber lifted the somewhat hidden wall out of oblivion with his routes. In the meantime, the wall has been diligently developed further and the classics have all been renovated.
Some of the routes are now very close together, which makes orientation quite difficult - in some cases orientation signs have even been put up at the sites!
A visit is especially worthwhile in spring, when you can ski from the Füssener Jöchle to the entrance. In case of strong warming and wet snow cover, please be aware of the possible danger of avalanches.
from Vils to the Vilser Alm. Continue in the direction of Obere Alpe/Schlagstein and finally over scree slopes up to the foot of the wall (2h in total). Also possible with MTB until about 800 behind the Vilser Alm, then in total about 1,5h.
From Grän take the cable car to Füssener Jöchle and from there descend to the foot of the wall (about 40 minutes from the top station).
from Vils at the parking lot Vilser Alm.
from Grän at the valley station Füssener Jöchle.
The first real sport climbing route on the mountain was extended from a first ascent to a completely independent route. Mostly wall climbing on almost consistently the best rock.

from Grän with the cable car to the Füssener Jöchle and from there descend to the foot of the wall (about 40 minutes from the top station).
Follow the ridge towards Sebenspitze until you reach a vertical rise. About 20 metres to the south you will find the first of two abseiling points leading into the lower part of the southern gully. Abseil down and over crag back to the entrance. In the left half of the wall do not abseil over the routes - danger of falling rocks!
1x50m or 2x25m!
Already in 1990, a sports climbing route set up from above, which offers almost entirely magnificent slab and wall climbing. Mostly solid, in places excellent rock.

Wonderful homogeneous wall and intersection climbing with ideal lines.
Bold in the past, now quite enjoyable.

The straight lines of the name do not make it unjustified. Very varied wall climbing in good rock. The route dries very quickly and is passable almost all year round.

Follow the ridge towards Sebenspitze until you reach a vertical rise. About 20 metres to the south you will find the first of two abseiling points leading into the lower part of the southern gully. Abseil down and over crag back to the entrance. Or back via the normal route.
Rewarding, difficult wall and slab climbing with some technically demanding passages. The key passage in the 2nd pitch is limited to a hard single spot, which can also be climbed A0. Predominantly solid rock, but interspersed with some brittle sections. Set up from above.

Very athletic, spectacular line through the large overhangs. Good, often strongly overhanging rock. Retreat by rappelling from the roofs not always possible!
Walter Hölzer und Gef. 2001
At the exit of the Route Ikarus, a rappelling slope begins. Seen from above, the abseiling is mainly on the right side.
You can abseil down over Fairy Tale King and Storm in a Tumbler.
Beautiful, steep and towards the top increasingly difficult slab climbing in compact rock. Fingerqower is in demand.

Rewarding short route with interesting key rope length on excellent limestone.

Bouldering point at the entrance, technical endurance on skirting boards, a 10-train passage in the roof and widely spaced skirting boards in the 5th SL.
In contrast to the Ikarus, all grips are natural. As an RP project, the route is open to all aspirants.
