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.
Please pay attention to the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable suitable outdoor clothes for the weather, ankle-high walking boots, wind-, rain- & sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is for all hikes and tours necessary. Please bring a first-aid box, a mobile phone, a walking map and if there is no hut on the way a snack and enough to drink.The mountain tour starts by the Hintere Fundusalm (Hut taxi) from there you walk to the Frischmannhütte. From there follow the narrow and steep path towards Feilerscharte Saddle (2926 m). From Feilerscharte it’s another 30 minutes to the peak. You can either backtrack or hike down through Leierstal.
Tip: hike from Frischmannhütte via Fundusfeiler and along Forchheimer High Elevation Trail to Erlanger Hütte. You can organize a “Hüttentaxi” to Hintere Fundusalm.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or our local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
