Tips
Easy to reach “almost 3000”. From Defreggen, the ascent and descent can be shortened to almost 700 meters in altitude with the mountain railway - but 11.5km total distance. So plan enough time, otherwise you will miss the last trip into the valley. The alternative then is the more beautiful indirect descent via the Bruggeralm (branching possible both at the Ochsenlenke and from the mountain railway).
The last part of the climb from Degenhornsee is very steep, the path over the ridge is only for those with a head for heights, some very high steps, but as an adult it is easy to manage without aids.
Great viewing summit! The climb is worth it.translated by

The view is simply overwhelming. But please be careful: the last few meters to the summit are quite airy. You should be free from giddiness and surefooted.
