What a beautiful and lonely Fund(usfeiler) in the Ötztal Alps! It is quite possible that this is due to the long ascent to the rear Fundusalm. How good that you can get there easily with the hut cab.
From the Hintere Fundusalm, which can be reached by hut cab, only a slight ascent to the Frischmannhütte and then via a narrow, steeper mountain path to the summit. Shortly before the summit, a secured gully with steel ropes and stirrups requires a bit of scrambling. For this alpine summit tour, you should have a basic level of alpine experience as well as surefootedness and a head for heights.
Suitable for those free of fear of heights, sure-footed, and alpine experienced mountaineers;
Very good physical condition, alpine experience and mountaineering equipment (see under equipment), sometimes alpine safety equipment, good weather conditions recommended
Please observe the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first-aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without refreshment options, is necessary.
The mountain route starts from the Hintere Fundusalm (hut taxi) and you first hike to the Frischmann hut. From here, a narrow, steep path leads towards Feilerscharte (2,926 m). From Feilerscharte, it takes about half an hour to hike to the summit. The descent is possible via the Leierstal or the same way back.
Tip: Mountain route from the Frischmann hut via the Fundusfeiler continuing along the Forchheimer Höhenweg to the Erlanger hut. There is the option to take the hut taxi to the Hintere Fundusalm.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Then you can conveniently and quickly travel with public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
