A strenuous tour, no matter which side you approach. From the Hühnerspiel, the paths are very narrow, even over rocks at the end. From the Seblasspitze, it's a long walk, and you don't really walk on "paths." It's mostly rock. But thanks to the shape, this is very manageable, as the rocks are often flat. There are markings. The tour requires good experience and stable weather; otherwise, it could become slippery and muddy in rain. Very dangerous, especially on the ridge. A fantastic view at the top, no doubt!

The ascent from Praxmar via Köllenzeiger/Oberstkogel is mainly along narrow but easily accessible mountain paths. Only a few places are narrower on more exposed steep slopes, but it can happen that landslides, earthy/gravelly areas have to be overcome. The ridge path is very wide at the beginning and only becomes more demanding in the last 150m below the summit. This is where the scrambling/easy climbing to the summit begins. The key point is a sloping slab directly on the ridge, which has to be climbed over for 4-5m. Directly below the summit is another slab, but this is secured with a chain and pins. Great panoramic view from the summit and a fairly large summit plateau for a relaxing break. The descent via the Satteljoch/Marlerbachtal begins steeply on gravel before you reach the ridge, which has little difference in altitude. On the ridge you have to climb around/over a few places before you go down over the scree field into the valley. From here on, the terrain is mostly easy. The path often runs along the stream and invites you to stop for a refreshment. The ascent from Praxmar is signposted as 4 hours on both options, but can certainly be done more quickly for experienced hikers. The paths are mostly well marked. Suitable as a first 3000m peak if surefootedness and easy climbing are not a problem.

Especially in summer, lots of paragliders take off from there, which has led to some exciting moments for both the kids and us parents. Not every takeoff looks like a dream takeoff!

It takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on your fitness level, to climb up to the Elferhütte. Before or on the way back, the Elfer panoramic restaurant right at the mountain station offers a good selection of hot and cold dishes.

It was so pleasantly surprisingly beautiful for us to get off here when we took the cable car from Neustift to this mountain station for the first time. (What a luxury if one can use the Stubai Super Card😲) And if the weather is good...and there is a restaurant nearby and there are well-marked hiking trails and there are sights and... what more could you ask for?
