Map of Schesaplana
On the north side of the Schesaplana is a glacier called Brandner Gletscher. To the east is the Lünersee.
It is possible to reach the summit on various routes during a hike, making it useful for a multiday trek between the mountain huts in the area. A more horizontal trek is following the whole of the Rätikon chain along its southern face, called "Prättigauer Höhenweg".
