Routes
From the west, the Pyramidenspitze can be reached from the Vorderkaiserfeldenhütte via a long but rewarding path that leads past Naunspitze ( 1633 m ), Petersköpfl ( 1745 m ) and Einserkogel ( 1924 m ) and without any difficulties to the summit cross of the Pyramid tip leads. The northern route with the starting point in Durchholzen is more demanding . This path is no problem up to Winkelkar, from there a via ferrata (A / B) leads to the summit, walking time a total of 3 hours in the ascent. In some cases, there is also a considerable risk of falling rocks. The fuses have been renewed and are currently in the best condition (September 2009); According to the notice on the hut, the fuses are currently (January 2013) defective.
