The easiest route to the top is from Nassereith via the west side of Wannig. This route is very steep and climbed by a lot of people. More interresting is the double traverse of Handschuhspitzen and Wannig from Biberwier.

Wannig norht ridge Difficult route starting in Biberwier. Follow Barberasteig up to Marienbergjoch. From there trail 25 leads west. On the left side (south) a path leads up to Wannigs north ridge (UIAA II, exposed, steep). Descent trail 26 and back to Marienbergjoch.
Biberwier, Fernpass and Nassereith are connected via road 179 (Fernpass). From Nassereith you have a road / highway connection to Innsbruck (airport). From Biberwier a road leads vie Ehrwald to Garmisch Partenkirchen (Germany) and Munich (airport).
In Ehrwald a train station exists, but reaching the trailhead is very difficult, because of the distance of about 10km. (I don' t know if there is a bus connection...)
A cable car to Marienbergjoch (from Biberwier) exists.
There are two major huts on the mountain:
Muthenaualm - A private hut with no bedrooms, but here you can reload you batteries with a cool beer.
Waldhaus Talblick - Some sort of hotel a few metres above Biberwier.
