Summit goals
Parseier point
At 3,036 meters the highest peak in the mountains and also in the entire northern Limestone Alps.
Dawinkopf
(2970 m) second highest mountain in the Lechtal Alps.
Thaneller
The distinctive free-standing rock pyramid of the Thaneller (2,341 m) marks the northern end of the Lechtal Alps above the Zwischenentorental and is a much-visited summit in summer. The name is derived from "Fontanella" for a small fountain.
Rise off Berwang (1342m): little difficult mountain hike over around 1000 meters in altitude from the south side, the summit can be reached in a good three hours (or even faster) via a path through light mountain forest in the upper part of Schrofen Due to the southern exposure, the tour can get quite warm in the pine fields when there is strong sunshine.
Rise off Cheerfulness (994m, Werner-Rietzler-Steig): The route through the rugged north face of the Thaneller has a height difference of 1300 meters and is technically much more difficult than the tour from the south side with some climbing points secured by wire rope (I).
Ski tour: Also in winter as a ski tour from Heiterwang, but sometimes quite steep (in the transition to the normal route from Berwang) and also very vulnerable to avalanches.
There is no managed alpine pasture or mountain hut along the ascent routes.
