Ascent:
The normal route up to the highest summit of the Kaisergebirge mountain range departs from the hiking starting point at the Wochenbrunner Alm. You should start by following the signposts to the Gruttenhütte mountain hut (walking time around 1.75 hours). After a short break, you will then make the ascent into the large “Hochgrubach” gravel cirque. On the subsequent ascent via the Gamsängsteig trail, there is a significant risk of rock falls caused by mountain climbers who are further up. In the first section of the path, you should cross the series of ledges known as the “Gamsänger”. This will lead you past the rock faces of the Kopftörlgrat until you reach the Jägerwandtreppe, which features more than 70 stirrups and is located slightly above the Rote-Rinn-Scharte passage. An easy climb leads you to a gully that sometimes contains snow until way into the summer. An emergency bivouac, the Babenstuber Hütte, is located a short distance below the summit. Enjoy the fantastic view from the highest summit in the Wilder Kaiser massif.
(Ascent from the Gruttenhütte mountain hut to summit in around 2.5 hours.)
