Hikers can reach the mountain station either via the Hiking Trail 830 from the Valley Station or comfortably by chairlift. From the railway mountain station and the nearby Berggasthof St. Anton, you now hike on the direct trail (820) towards the Kranzberg summit. Past the Kranzberg summit house, the highest point of the Kranzberg is quickly reached.
