Furkotský štít je oblíbený tatranský vrchol. Nejlépe je dostupný z Chaty pod Soliskom. Výstup vede Furkotskou dolinou přes Nižné a Vyšné Wahlenbergovo pleso. Za jezerem je možné vystupovat dvěma liniemi. Za dobrých podmínek širokým svahem (vlevo) na hřeben a po něm v mačkách na vrchol. Variantou výstupu je trasa přes Bystré sedlo. Tudy obvykle vede i trasa sjezdu. Návrat k chatě vyžaduje na krátký úsek nalepit pásy.

The end of the climb under the saddle is very steep (over 40 degrees) and also narrow. From the saddle you can climb to the summit "Baranie rohy" or descent to the mountain hut "Téryho chata". The descent back to "Chata pri Zelenom plese"is a ski technical challenge. The route through Baranie sedlo is part of the so-called High Tatras Haute Route.
