Less than one kilometre to the south is the Hoher Kasten, a 1,794 m high mountain accessible via an aerial tramway.[1] Both mountains are separated by the Kamorsattel, a 1,678 m high saddle.[1]
On top of the Kamor is a wooden summit cross erected by the section Kamor of the Swiss Alpine Club.
Ascents to Kamor and Hoher Kasten were already described in the early 19th century.[2]
