From Timmelsbrücke bridge head to Timmelsalm mountain hut and keep to the right until reaching the vast Oberkrumpwasser plateau. Taking a central route across the plateau ascend the steep slope to Hochkar, where another steep slope leads through a splendid glacier basin right to the summit. Attention: the slope to the summit must only be climbed on its East side!
Descent: Once the steep initial section down from the summit has been overcome, there are marvellous slopes with fine powder snow.
