The Kirchdach is the highest point on the Serleskamm ridge, which separates the valleys of Gschnitztal in the southeast from the Pinnistal and Stubaital in the northwest.

The Kirchdach may be ascended from the west from the alpine pasture of the Pinnisalm (1,560 m) in the Pinnis valley along the Jubiläumssteig path in ca.

From the Gschnitztal valley the Padasterjochhaus (2,232 m) northeast of the Kirchdach acts as a base; from there it takes 2 hours to reach the top.

All the routes run from the saddle of Silbersattel (2,750 m) along the north arête, which is exposed in places and secured, for the final 90 metres in height to the summit.

A number of climbing routes have been opened up the wild north and northeast faces, all of which have rarely been repeated.
