From the valley station of the Karwendel cable car, follow the signposts to the “Rodlhütte Pertisau". Shortly after the Rodlhütte, the hiking trail narrows into a small path towards the Bärenbadalm and the terrain becomes rocky and partially exposed (tunnel path). From the Bärenbadalm (1,457 metres), a 20-minute climb to the left takes you to the top station on the Zwölferkopf (1,491 metres) and to the Alpengasthaus Karwendel. The return is mostly via the same route. Alternatively, you can take the cable car down.
