Challenging, solitary tour around the Guffert massif (19.4km, 1,400m elevation gain, ca. 9 hours 45 minutes). The route involves a demanding ascent (ca. 6 hours) to the Guffertstein. No refreshment stops available, so bring provisions.
From the car park Waldfrieden, turn left and follow the federal road in the direction of Achenkirch. After ca. 500 metres, turn right and walk along the Weißenbach. Follow the yellow signpost to the Schneidalm (not serviced). From here, turn right and walk to the Schneidjoch. Follow the trail on the right as it descends to the Issalmen (1,413 metres, not serviced). Continue along the waymarked trail to the Breitlahneralm (not serviced) and at the signpost turn right and descend to the plateau of the Gufferstein (1,953 metres). At the signpost, turn left and descend in a southerly direction to the Luxeggalm (decrepit). The trail descends in an easterly direction and takes you to the Bärenwaldweg and back to Steinberg.
Take the regional bus (line 4080 to Achenkirch, change to line 7801 to Steinberg) to Steinberg am Rofan to the car park Waldfrieden. Get off at the "Steinberg a. R. Waldfrieden" stop.
