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 via the Schönjochalm (1,287 metres) back to car park of the Rofan lifts II in Steinberg.

Tip: Start your hike to Vorderunnutz from the car park at the cross-country skiing centre in Steinberg to shorten the route considerably.
