    From the parking lot at the end of Gries, follow the road to Winnebach to take the footbridge towards the Winnebachsee Hut. Soon the path leads out of the forest past numerous avalanche tracks. The well-constructed path twists steeply uphill at the end; to the right, the Winnebach cascades down the "Bachfalle." Walking time approx. 2 hours. At the hut, cross over the lake outflow, ascend a short step, and head east across the picturesque glacially polished rock floors to three small lakes. Continue over grass and rock up to the tongue of the extensive Bachfallenferner. At the fork on the upper path, go around a striking rock pillar into a hidden valley. Through this valley and the adjoining high cirque over scree and snow all the way up to the ridge and into a small saddle. Then descend briefly to the upper part of the Grünen Tatzenferner, ascend through the basin to the upper east ridge and from there over rubble to the summit.
