The journey time to the top of the mountain on the Fichtelberg Cable Car is 3½ minutes.
There is also a bus service from Oberwiesenthal.
At the summit and just below it are several parking areas for cars and busses.

Some are part of the E3 European long distance path and the Zittau to Wernigerode long distance path.

The mountain is a magnet for cyclists and bikers.
From the Pöhlbach valley, two long winding roads, starting at a height of 830 m, head towards the Czech border.
After a short section on the level, it turns right towards the summit.
The road runs through forested countryside that gives a strong impression that one is above 1,000 m. The total length of this ascent is 6,600 metres and it climbs through around 380 metres in heigh.

The less well known and more difficult ascent starts in Rittersgrün and climbs through 556 metres in 13.64 kilometres.
The road runs through Ehrenzipfel, Zweibach and Tellerhäuser.
After passing through these villages there is a long steep climb that flattens out as it makes its way up to a junction signed Fichtelberg.
After a further 2 kilometres of uphill climbing it reaches the summit of the Fichtelberg.
