Notes

It’s a technical ascent especially on the last meters, so Crampons and an Ice Axe are mandatory equipment items in wintry conditions (checking the avalanche reports beforehand should be a matter of course).

I would also recommend wearing a helmet.

With snow obstructing the way, you need roughly about one and a half hours from Karb (“Gap”, 1853 meters) to the peak.
