The Gleirscher Rosskogel may also be climbed as part of a ski tour, but is not as popular as its northern neighbour, the Zwieselbacher Rosskogel. The Gleirscher Rosskogel is usually approached from St. Sigmund im Sellrain via the Pforzheimer Hut and the col immediately north of the summit and not via the Gleischrjöchl as in summer.
