Start from the car park at Roaner Alm. From there, proceed initially to Großboden near Obere Göriacher Alm and via boulder-strewn terrain and a steep path up to Schwarzkofelsee 2436m. After that, continue to the Großbodenscharte at 2512m, and via a well signposted path which proceeds in a south-easterly direction, up to the 2404m Strasskopf.
From here the terrain is moderate initially, then in parts it is very steep downhill, passing gentle alpine ridges to Winklerner Alm and back to Roaner Alm.
