The Rote Spitze (2,956 m, the westernmost summit of the two aforementioned peaks) may be climbed both from the Defereggen valley - via Brugger Alm (1,818 m), Ragötzlalm (2,115 m) and Gschrittlenke (2,738 m) -, as well as from the Villgratental valley - via the Oberstalleralm (1,883 m) and Gschrittlenke. The final 150 metres of height below the summit are of climbing grade I+. Individual places are secured here by steel cable. Sure-footedness is essential.
