Entry to the normal route on the Gimpel. Helmet is recommended (stink blow from other hikers and chamois), the path has easy climbs (II-III) and at the top over an exposed ridge.

The markings are sparse, so just follow the stripped lime. Here and there is even a hook for an intermediate backup.

The steep ascent to the Gimpel starts here. A climbing helmet is recommended due to the risk of falling rocks.

The Gimpel is certainly the most popular destination in the touring area around the Gimpelhaus. However, there is no path accessible on two feet leading up to its summit. Typically, you'll only encounter climbers and a few classic mountaineers on this mountain. Pure hikers must be content with the view from below, as even the easiest route requires the use of their hands.

The difficulty of this mountain tour is manageable for advanced mountaineers on the normal route. Even hikers who want to experience something more will have the opportunity to push their personal limits on the normal route. Without having to risk their life, you can try a two-person climb on the Gimpel. If the undertaking proves too difficult, the easier neighbor, the Rote Flüh, will gladly provide consolation – adequately compensating for the missed alpine pleasures.

The physical demands of this highly alpine hike are rather moderate. The Gimpelhaus is quickly reached, and from there it's just a stone's throw to the start of the rocky route. Since the mountain is often besieged by climbers and chamois, we have to be prepared for rockfall at any time. So be sure to wear a helmet! Not only can the tour be easily combined with the Roten Flüh, but the Köllenspitze can also be easily added on – provided your fitness levels aren't running low yet.

The mountain tour via the normal route to the Gimpel falls under the category of easy climbing tours.
