The hike starts in the Zwischbergental, Bord. The ascent towards Furggu is on the Stockalperweg. The route is well signposted and you follow the brown "Stockalperweg" signs.
Once you reach Furggu, turn right towards Seehorn. The trail is very well marked. Through the Seehaltu forest you climb up to Seetole. There is a small lake here. Now the southwest flank of the Seehorn is clearly visible. With the goal in mind one hikes towards the Seehorn. The hike is also easy for those who are not free from giddiness. On the summit of the Seehorn one finds large meadows. Those who have vertigo should simply not step too close to the abyss.
Once at the top, you will discover the transmission mast with helicopter landing pad. The Seehorn towers majestically over the deep Gondos Gorge at 2439 metres above sea level. The view is overwhelming. Zwischbergental, Laggintal, Gondoschlucht, Alpjen, Simplon Dof and many other hamlets can be discovered.
