High mountain route (not a hike!): Ascent from the Kölner Haus via Unterer Glockhäuser to Urgjoch (2,759 m). Then on to the Kübelgrubenscharte (2,770 m) - caution: steep snowfields may be present here until summer, which must be crossed - and up to the Rotpleiskopf (2,936 m). The return way leads via the Glockscharte (2,775 m) - here on the north side often still a lot of snow in early summer - with the possibility to summit the Glockspitze (2,846 m), and the Blankaseen back to the Kölner Haus.
