Unterberghorn

From the car park at the valley station of the Hochkössen gondola (formerly Unterberghornbahn) in Kössen, walk past the sports shop towards the youth sports hotel, where the path starts. A forest road runs east along the foot of the mountain beside the Großache; turn right onto a forest track that climbs in bends, then right again onto a steep path that crosses the track three times to an alpine pasture and continues along the forest edge and over meadows to the Scheibenwaldhütte (1,145 m, inn), about 1¼ hours. Follow the forest road briefly uphill, then a path that climbs steeply beside the ski slope until it joins another track. Turn right and wind up past the Bärenhütte (about 1,480 m, inn and paragliding launch, next to the gondola top station) to the mountain restaurant (Gipfelhaus, about 1,665–1,700 m), about 2½ hours from Kössen. Two paths lead from here and soon join; the route then follows a ridge through dwarf pine to the summit cross at 1,773 m, about 3 hours in total. Descend the same way, or from the Scheibenwaldhütte take the forest road and then a meadow path down the ski slopes to the valley station, about 2 hours. The view takes in the Wilder and Zahmer Kaiser, the Kitzbühel Alps, the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge and the Chiemgau Alps. The south top, the Hefferthorn (1,735 m), needs easy climbing. The route is not recommended above the Gipfelhaus directly after fresh snow.
