The normal route to the summit is from Hochgangschartl via west ridge as a marked trail in about half an hour to the summit. The access to the Hochgangschartl is possible from the south via an insured riser. As the bases Hochganghaus situated on 1839 m ( Rifugio Casa del Valico ) and can Leiteralm ( 1522 m) are above Vellau. Also from the north of the Spronser Lakeland can be reached Hochgangschartl, bases here are the Gasthof Oberkaser ( 2131 m) and the Bockerhütte (1700 m).
