Steinberg - Kotalm - Vorderunnutz - Kotalm - Steinberg
The hike to the Vorderunnutz can be significantly shortened by starting from the car park of the cross-country skiing centre in Steinberg. 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: Alternatively, the hike can start at the Rofanlifte II car park, resulting in a longer walking time.
