Glödis
Name
Franz Miklosich derives the name from the Slavic word gledna (= "seeing"). According to Heinz Pohl, however, there are 2 possible derivations: either from the early Slovenian glodišće (= "place gnawed away by water", from glodati = "to gnaw"), but this link is phonetically difficult; or more probably from glodež which has a similar meaning.
In the Debanttal valley the mountain was for a long time called the Großer Gößnitzkopf. Its other names include Klöders and Granatkogel.
Routes
The best ascent option is from the Lienzer Hut (1,977 m above sea level (AA)) along the Franz Keil Way, then on to the Kalser Törl and finally along the southeast arête. In autumn 2006 a klettersteig was installed on the southeast ridge which is of moderate difficulty (grade B). Other well known routes are:
- Southwest ridge from the Kalser Törl (II–III, in one place III+), popular, often used
- Northeast ridge from Glödistörl (III-), boulder-strewn
- West ridge (IV–V), most difficult arête of the Glödis
- South ridge (III+), solid rock, rarely used
