See the main section how to reach the upper station of Mallnitz cable-car, 2631 m! Or, if you are on a longer trek Over Hohe Tauern, you can start the tour also in Hannoverhaus, 2719 m. The hut is standing on the main ridge, just above the cable-car upper station.
From the base of summit rocks marks lead us just below the west ridge, always keeping on the southern side. It goes steeply, but in good conditions no real climbing is needed (but there are also no protection devices). In some 30 minutes we reach the main summit, 3246 m.
From Radeckscharte to the foresummit and over it to the main summit the path is rocky, but in summer it offers no difficulties. In good conditions it is also used in spring, when tour skiers ascend the Kleiner Ankogel from which you can ski down towards the north in Anlauftal or the main summit from which they ski down towards the east to Osnabruecker Huette. From the cable-car station 2 h 30 min. Altogether from the Hannoverhaus we need some 3 hours. On the Swiss scale for Hiking Tours, the difficulty of route would be graded T4.
For summer tour you need only normal hiking equipment, poles can be useful. In winter the ridge can be icy, so you need a complete winter equipment. In spring on a ski tour take crampons and ice axe, for the final scent consider to rope the unexperienced.
