Ways

Besides the Gratüberschreitung (see Arnspitzgruppe ), there are three access routes, all of which meet at the Arnspitzhütte, from where you can easily reach the top. The normal ( AV path 851 ) leads from Scharnitz by the eastern flank. Less steep is the slope of the High Southwest saddle ( 1495 m), which can be reached from Scharnitzer district Gießenbach or from the Leutasch. The longest but also the most beautiful ascent is from the north via Riedenberg Charter ( 1450 m), which is accessible from the Leutasch or Mittenwald. Since Mittenwald, Scharnitz and Gießenbach are connected by rail ( Mittenwaldbahn ), overruns are easily possible.

The Arnspitzgruppe is a dry limestone massif. Also at the Arnspitzhütte (1955 m, shelter, uncultivated ) there is only collected rainwater.
