The western, rear summit ( 2716.5 m above sea level ) is a popular excursion destination because of its easy accessibility from Braunwald, while the front summit ( 2703 m above sea level ) is reserved for experienced mountaineers.

Routes to the summit
The easiest route leads from Braunwald over the Braunwaldalp or Brächalp to the Bergetenseeli and over Bärentritt to the Lauchboden. Following the tracks, you now climb to Furggele and from there to the southeast to the summit.
