The normal route to the summit runs from the Coburger Hut (1,917 m) over the Vorderes Tajatörl and the south arête. More recently the Vorderer Tajakopf has been climbed more frequently up a challenging klettersteig laid out in 2000 along the west arête. The neighbouring Hinterer Tajakopf (2,408 m) is accessible via the Vorderer Tajatörl on the Coburger Klettersteig or from the Hinterer Tajatörl.
