This is the established and best-known ascent to Serles. It is generally described as a steep mountain route rather than a technical climb, but it is still a serious alpine outing because of the exposed upper terrain. The route typically follows marked or well-trodden mountain paths to the Serlesjöchl before continuing on steeper, rockier ground toward the summit. In dry conditions it is usually considered a demanding hike with short easy scrambling sections. Snow, ice, or wet rock can significantly increase the difficulty and objective hazard. The route is commonly treated as the normal summit approach for the peak.
