The hike to the Vorderunnutz can be significantly shortened by starting from the car park of the cross-country skiing centre in Steinberg. (Alternatively, starting from the car park Rofan lifts II makes the tour slightly longer). The ascent starts on a beautiful but somewhat steep trail through the forest. This path later joins the regular route to the Vorderunnutz, just below the Kotalm. At the summit, you will be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the Karwendel, Lake Achensee, Rofan, Guffert, and the Bavarian Prealps. The return is via the same route.
Tip: Start your hike to Vorderunnutz from the car park at the cross-country skiing centre in Steinberg to shorten the route considerably.
