The access is only as far as the ski hut parking these days anyway. The road to the upper parts of the mountain is closed, permanently.
Happy climbing

In non-snow conditions, it takes around 60-90 min to the hut. Before the road was closed, it would have been about the same driving time (dependent on how many morons were out) and about a 10 min walk.

If the snow is good, you can skin from the parking lot to the hut in about 30, walking then takes significantly longer.
Happy climbing
