Suitable for climbers without fear of heights, sure-footed and alpine experienced; very good physical fitness, alpine experience and mountaineering equipment (see under Equipment), sometimes alpine safety equipment, good weather conditions recommended. Please observe the current weather report.
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing is required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without the possibility to stop for food, is necessary.
From the parking lot at the end of Gries, follow the road to Winnebach to take the footbridge towards the Winnebachsee Hut. Soon the path leads out of the forest past numerous avalanche tracks. The well-constructed path twists steeply uphill at the end; to the right, the Winnebach cascades down the "Bachfalle." Walking time approx. 2 hours. At the hut, cross over the lake outflow, ascend a short step, and head east across the picturesque glacially polished rock floors to three small lakes. Continue over grass and rock up to the tongue of the extensive Bachfallenferner. At the fork on the upper path, go around a striking rock pillar into a hidden valley. Through this valley and the adjoining high cirque over scree and snow all the way up to the ridge and into a small saddle. Then descend briefly to the upper part of the Grünen Tatzenferner, ascend through the basin to the upper east ridge and from there over rubble to the summit.
Travel comfortably and safely by train. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL train station. Afterwards, you can travel conveniently and quickly with public transportation or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
