You might think that the Figerhorn doesn't have it easy in the shadow of the Großglockner. Yet this is precisely its strength: past the blooming Grei meadows and over the long ridge, the Fiegerhorn offers you the ideal view of the Großglockner.
Winding ascent from the Kalser Tal valley to the species-rich flowering Greiwiesen meadows. From there towards the summit flank and finally over the ridge to the summit. The tour is classified as difficult due to the black mountain paths, but does not present any major technical difficulties.

The most direct route leads from the Lucknerhaus along the Wendelin-Weingartner Trail to the summit. At the start, the trail winds upward through a series of switchbacks to the “Greiwiesen.” From there, the terrain flattens out somewhat all the way to the “Grei Bühel.” From there, you hike northward along the trail toward the summit slope of the Figerhorn. Finally, you climb the last few meters up the ridge toward the beautiful summit cross!
A special highlight of this hike is undoubtedly the fantastic view of the Großglockner and the surrounding mountain panorama.
