Hiking
For the summit climb to the unique Glaskreuz, it is recommended that you first walk along below the Schartwand and then start the climb from the west side. The path initially leads you towards Bleikogel, with the turnoff to the Schartwand clearly signposted. From this point, you follow a mostly pathless path that is marked by cairns. After about 15 minutes of hiking, the view of the summit opens up.

This is a massive glass cross and worth a visit. There's no official path there, but from the western side, the climb is easily doable over grass and gravel sections.

There is no officially marked path to the Schartwand!
But you can easily hike up from several places.
