The southern Riffelspitze can be reached from the Riffelscharte in about 20 minutes via a climb of difficulty I (UIAA) . A climbing route of difficulty V- leads through the northwest face.
The normal route to the northern Riffelspitze leads from the southern Riffelspitze in 20 minutes with difficulty I to the summit. In addition, the mountain can be climbed via the southeast ridge (I) and the northeast ridge (II). The route through the north-west face, which Willo Welzenbach and E.
