Normal route from Berliner Hfctte via the Schwarzensteinkees and the south ridge

This is the standard documented alpine route to Schönbichler Horn and is usually climbed from the Berliner Hfctte. The route crosses glacier terrain on the Schwarzensteinkees and then gains the summit by the south ridge. It is a classic easy alpine climb, but it still requires glacier equipment and safe route-finding. The main objective hazards are crevasses, snow/ice conditions on the glacier, and possible rockfall or loose blocks on the upper ridge. In normal conditions it is a straightforward mountaineering ascent rather than a technical rock climb. The route is commonly described as a moderate glacier-and-ridge tour in the Zillertal Alps.
