Accessibility / arrival

The ascent to the wall is an experience in itself: A wonderful hike takes you from the Wurzeralm mountain station past the Brunnsteinersee lake and over the Rote Wand saddle to the foot of the Rote Wand.
Calculate with 2 hours.

Tip: The ascent with the funicular railway from Spital am Pyhrn is free with the Pyhrn-Priel Cards free of charge.

Alternatively, you can also ascend from Gleikersee via the Dümlerhütte. However, it is a total of around 950 metres to the foot of the wall. For a multi-day climb, the Dümlerhütte is a good place to stay overnight, as it is only around 45 minutes from there to the base of the wall.
