The ascent starts from the Bodenalm car park, which can be reached via the hamlet of Wallhorn near Prägraten a.G. Here, you immediately leave the track and set off along a footpath. This leads through partly wooded countryside, over a small stream and then crosses a track. The path then leads straight on to the Nilljochhütte at 1,990 metres above sea level. It can also be combined with the 3-Almen hike, taking in the Schmiedleralm and Gottschaunalm.
