Climbs
The Persailhorn can be reached from Wiechenthaler Hütte via two very well secured via ferratas (each with a level of difficulty BC or KS3C). The Südwandsteig leads in 2 hours through the partially exposed south flank and at the end over the south ridge to the summit. The newly created Wildentalsteig, which replaces the old normal route, leads through the north-west flank in a somewhat exposed route to the south ridge and via this to the summit in about 2 hours. The Saalfeldener Höhenweg , which connects the Persailhorn via Mitterhorn and Breithorn with the Riemannhaus via the ridge (approx. 3 hours from the Persailhorn) is marked, but only sparsely insured .
