Mountain hikes Steinberg - Gfaßsattel - Kotalm - Vorderunnutz - Kögljoch - Schönjochalm - Steinberg

Steinberg am Rofan / Brandenberger Alpen (Rofan)
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 18.2 km
Duration: 7:30 h

We don't actually think this summit is that useless. After all, you have one of the most beautiful views of Lake Achensee - and almost unexpectedly - from the Vorderunnutz.

Tour character

This challenging 18-km day tour leads to the Vorderunnutz summit with a unique view of Lake Achensee. After the most strenuous part, the Schönjochalm invites you to stop off for refreshments in the summer months.

Description

This tour begins ca. 50 metres to the south-east of the car park “Rofan lifts II”. Turn right and follow the crossroad in the direction of the Schönjochalm to the Gfaßsattel (1,226 metres). At the wayside shrine, turn right and follow the trail to the Kotalm (not serviced). From here, walk to the Vorderunnutz (2,087 metres). On the return route, follow the trail in an easterly direction (see signpost Kögljoch), walk past the grassy slope and follow the trail on the right as it descends to the Kögljoch (1,487 metres). From here, turn left and follow the forest road through the Schönjochtal back to car park of the Rofan lifts II in Steinberg.

Tip: If the hike starts at the car park "Langlaufzentrum Steinberg", the route to the summit of the Vorderunnutz is considerably shorter.
