From Westendorf, hikers catch the Alpenrosenbahn cableway on the Nachtsöllberg to the 1,760 m high Talkaser and can then reach the Brechhornhaus quickly over two routes (east and west of the Fleiding peak). The house lies on the Kreuzjoch between the Gampenkogel and the Brechhorn, and is a good base for the subsequent climb.
