On the north and west sides of the Hochkopfs, at height of about 900 metres, runs the B 500 federal highway, the Black Forest High Road, from Hundseck (884 m) to Unterstmatt (928 m), two former sites of highland hotels on the holiday route. From there the mountain is linked by footpaths. At Unterstmatt, on the southern slopes of the mountain is a ski piste with a lift, the Hochkopf Ski Lift (Skilift Hochkopf).
