Description

From the top station of the Rofan cable car, walk in the direction of the Dalfaz Alm. About halfway to the mountain hut, a signposted trail branches off to the Rotspitz. After a short detour to the summit of the Rotspitz (2,067 metres), follow the trail on the crest of the Dalfaz walls along the ridge. From the Streichkopf (2.243 metres), the trail leads via the Rote Kamml (secured with ropes) to the summit of the Hochiss (2,299 metres). From here, take the direct route back to the Rofan cable car.
