At the beginning the signposted path is still flat, but later there are also some steeper parts. In snow and ice it was not necessary to put on shoe spikes to ensure a safe ascent. After a walking time of about one hour you will reach the Max-Franz-Piste, which you only have to cross to reach the Berggeisthütte.
