The summit of the Gilfert is easily climbed from Innerst near Weerberg (south side of the Inn valley) via the Nonsalm (1,785 m). The route from Innerst to Nonsalm can be climbed as a ski tour or with snow shoes in the winter and spring, because the route is relatively safe from avalanches. A second route runs almost parallel to it from Pill or the district town of Schwaz up to the summit.
