The Entschenkopf can be reached from the north (from the Falkenjoch) as well as from the south (from the upper Gaisalpsee). Both climbs require sure-footedness and a head for heights.

In the south, Nebelhorn and Hindelanger Klettersteig offer a wonderful backdrop, in the east the small and large thumbs border the Retterschwangertal while to the west the Gaisalpseen and the Rubihorn can be admired.
