The starting point is the car park at the Roaner Alm. From there, head first towards Großboden near the Obere Göriacher Alm and across boulder terrain and a mountain trail up to the Schwarzkofelsee 2,436m. Then continue to the Großbodenscharte 2,512 m and follow a well-marked trail in a south-easterly direction to the 2,404 m high Strasskopf.
From there, the route leads first moderately, then partly steeply downwards onto a gentle alpine ridge, passing the Winklerner Alm on the way back to the Roaner Alm.
