The Bernadeinkopf lies below the eastern ridge of the Alpspitze, which continues in its northern steep walls. The southern side is in contrast less steep and leads to the lake Stuibensee.
Several via ferrata access the summit, easy and moderate Nordwandsteig and Schöngänge, or Mauerläufersteig of difficulty D-E. All of them can be easily reached after short hikes from the top station of the cable car at Osterfelderkopf. Access to the summit is also possible in winter through the southern side as ski tour.
The closest shelter is the restaurant at the Osterfelderkopf.
