| Easiest route | From "Lämmeren" hut, Valais |
The easiest ascent can be made from the "Lämmeren" hut in the canton of Valais via the Steghorn glacier or the Leiterli rocks. Another route leads from Engstligenalp along the ridge between Steghorn and Wildstrubel.
The mountain can also be ascended from both sides during wintertime, yet the skiing tour is very challenging.
