From the parking lot or the valley station of the Bergbahnen Gargellen cable cars, you take the gondola up to the Schafberg. Once at the mountain, you still have the opportunity to use the restrooms or to refresh yourself with a small treat at the Schafberg Hüsli mountain restaurant before setting off. To reach the start, follow the signs towards St. Antönier Joch, and at the Kristallbahn mountain station, a path leads left to a notch. Then, it goes slightly to the right into the cirque and continues over a gravel path to the start point.
After the start, the route goes over an obliquely running ridge (B), then over a small ledge and a steep section (C), as well as an easier wall section (B) to a ledge. At the information board, the paths split. The climbing leads through varied surroundings in two variants to the summit of the Gargellner Köpfe at 2482 m (see topo).
The descent from the summit leads down a wire rope-secured wall step onto a flattening ridge and further through avalanche barriers to the chairlift mountain station of the Gargellner Köpfe. From here, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the Bergbahnen Gargellen mountain station again.
