There are a total of six known caves into the limestone mountain, with lengths between 800 and 3000 or more yards, with all entrances on the Eastern side, in Switzerland.^[2] It is well known by climbers, the Gauablickhöhle Via ferrata on the north (Austrian) side involves passing through 350m of the cave system part way up the cliff face,^[3] there is another via ferrata on the southern, Swiss face, in Graubünden.

Below the north face of the mountain is the Lindauer Hütte [de], a mountain refuge at 1744 m in the Gau valley [de].

The eastern side has a mountain path of grade T4,^[4] allowing non-climbers to reach the 2817 metre summit. This is part of a multi day walking route along the entire length of the Rätikon chain on the sunnier side, called "Prättigauer Höhenweg".^[5]
