Less than one kilometre to the south is the Hoher Kasten, a 1,794 metres (5,886 ft) high mountain accessible via an aerial tramway from Brülisau.^[1] Both mountains are separated by the Kamorsattel, a 1,678 m (5,505 ft) high saddle,^[1] but connected by a hiking path.

On top of the Kamor is a wooden summit cross erected by the section Kamor of the Swiss Alpine Club.

Ascents to Kamor and Hoher Kasten were already described in the early 19th century.^[2]
