Ascent

There are two waymarked paths up the Schartschrofen. The normal route runs from the valley of Tannheimer Tal via the col of Füssener Jöchl – to this point the cable car may be taken from Grän – continuing to the Hallgernjoch col and from there to the top. Along the 150-metre-high southeastern arête runs the Friedberger Klettersteig, protected throughout its length, initially leading along the ridge and then after a detour into the south flank finally climbing a gully to the summit.
