The hike to the Große Arnspitze is challenging and requires sure-footedness, a head for heights, and alpine experience.

Start at the northern end of Scharnitz and follow the signs towards P1. After the wooden bridge, a forest path continues straight ahead. It's important to follow the signs to avoid getting lost. At the end of the forest path, you'll find a trail that leads up the flank of the Arnsattel. The path climbs steeply into the hollow of the Hasellähne and then continues in switchbacks to the hut.

From there, the trail goes right to the fore-summit, which can be reached via steep, rugged terrain. The summit is marked with a summit sign. For the final ascent to the main summit, you have to overcome some climbing sections of difficulty I+, with fixed rings making the passage easier. The descent is on the same route
