Where the “Helenental” mountain road reaches the peak at Zettersfeld (20 min. northwest of the cable car top station), a path leads across mountain meadows to the “Rottmannalm”, 5 minutes. From there, a much-used path leads up on the western edge of the Zettersfeld and on to the lake “Lackenboden” at 2080 m. In winter, the lake feeds the snow cannons. A last upswing allows you to visit the “Steinermandl” to the northeast and the “Schoberköpfl” to the north.

It leads north across alpine pastures, and then westwards past the reservoir (2,100 m) until below the peak of the “Goiselemandl” (2,370 m). From there, continue northwestwards, and go along the narrow path “Neualplschneid” to the lakes “Neualplseen” (2460). Now northwards, past the lakes “Neualplseen” up to the summit ridge. The last ascent to the peak is rather flat, but it includes overcoming a part that is secured by a wire rope. The summit cross of the “Östlicher Sattelkopf” is at 2,651 m of altitude.

TIP: You can also take the chairlift to the “Steinermandl” and thereby save about one hour of walking time.
