The summit may be reached on an easy mountain tour from the south, sure-footedness only being required on the summit arête from the Daniel to the Upsspitze. The ascent on the normal route starting at Leermoos and passing over the Tuftlalm and the Upsspitze takes about 3-4 hours according to the literature. A descent back over the Upsspitze, the Grünen Ups (a viewing point) and the Tuftlalm to Lermoos takes about 2½ hours. The summit offers a splendid view of the Zugspitze massif to the east and the Mieminger Range chain to the south.
