Bereits 1774 war der Ortler als höchster Gipfel Tirols und der K & K Monarchie bekannt, im Auftrag von Erzherzog Johann von Österreich wurde der Gipfel bereits 1804 erstmals bestiegen.
Den Auftrag die Besteigung vorzubereiten, erhielt ein gewisser Johannes Gebhard, welcher zusammen mit den zwei erfahrenen Bergsteigern Johann Klausner und Johann Leitner nach Sulden reiste. Bauern und Jäger sollten helfen, einen Weg zum Gipfel zu finden. Nach mehreren erfolglosen Versuchen meldete sich schließlich ein Gamsjäger mit Namen Josef Pichler, genannt Psayrer Josele.
Mit seiner Hilfe gelang es schließlich am 27. September 1804 von Trafoi aus über eine als sehr schwierige geltende Route den Gipfel zu bezwingen. Der heute am häufigsten begangene Normalweg führt von der Payerhütte (3020 m) aus in circa 4-5 Stunden Stunden zum Gipfel.
