The standard route from Scheffau via Jägerwirt, Wegscheid-Hochalm and Schneekar was described in the 2006 Alpine Club guide by Höfler and Piepenstock. The neighbouring Tuxeck (2,226 m) is a separate summit to the south.
The summit cross of the Treffauer stands exactly on the municipal boundary between Scheffau am Wilden Kaiser and Kufstein; the mountain itself belongs to Scheffau. The standard route from Scheffau passes the Jägerwirt inn and the Wegscheid-Hochalm, and mountaineers often combine the summit with a crossing to the 2,226 m Tuxeck before descending to the Gruttenhütte.
