Schneespitze, 2925 m

On the predominantly gently ascending forest road (trail no. 9) you hike through the Knuttental to the Knuttenalm. A little further towards the Klammljoch until an unmarked access road branches off to the left to another alpine hut. Pass this alpine hut and cross the bridge over the Klammbach. Immediately after the bridge, turn right for a few meters on cattle paths up the slope, where you meet a disused but still well-walkable alpine path. You can significantly shorten the official hiking trail no. 1B (towards Ochsenlenke) using this path. As soon as you reach the forest road to the Brunnerhütte at about 2070 m elevation, follow it. After crossing the Brunnerbach, you can also shorten the following hairpin bends via a pronounced grassy ridge almost up to the Brunnerhütte, partly off path, partly on cattle trail traces. From the hut (signpost "Schneespitze") continue a bit further north on the hiking trail until you have to cross another creek. Immediately afterwards you leave trail no. 1B.

Ascend northwards through the wide cirque, initially off path, then higher up on more or less clear trail traces. Stay on the right side of a stream, occasionally encountering cairns. From about 2650 m you can follow a clear path. It zigzags over sometimes steep steps across the very steep and rock-strewn grassy slope up into the wide saddle of the Alprechscharte. When wet, the saddle slope is very slippery. Once you have passed this "key passage", the rest of the ascent to the summit poses no particular obstacles. You can also include the completely inconspicuous summit of the Kleine Alprechtspitze (Alprechspitze, 2855 m). A usually clear path leads beneath the ridge to a notch. Over a short, steep rocky step (difficulty 1-, caution when wet) you reach the easy summit ridge and shortly after the highest point, the summit cross and summit register.

The descent is via the same route.
