Description

Thanks to its central location, the summit Großer Zunig provides breathtaking views. However 

climbing it is very strenuous due to its enormous altitude difference. From the parking place Guggenberg you have to follow the forest road to the snack station Zunigalm (1.846 m). On a steep trail you get to the deep green mountain lake Zunigsee and hike then up on the mountain ridge to the col Zunigscharte. You reach the summit by following an easy to walk on, but quite steep north-eastern ridge. Arrived on the hiking destination, you can enjoy the superb panorama view to the massif Tauernmassiv and the Dolomites.
