To reach the peak from Vaduz city centre, travelers typically drive or take a bus to the mountain resort of Malbun. From Malbun, the summit is accessible via marked hiking trails. The total travel time from the city centre to the trailhead is approximately 30 to 40 minutes, followed by several hours of hiking depending on the route chosen.
