Hintere Schöntaufspitze 3325m (20/7 2010)
Vordere Schöntaufspitze 3214m





 First we use the cableway from the village of Sulden to
 the top station on 2610m.
The trail up is easy to walk. On 3100m you reach a saddlepoint. As you can see many people find their way up here, even cyclists.



 On the summit, 3325m. The altitude is really the only
 difficulty with this mountain. The view is magnificent. From
 left is Königspitze 3851m, Monte Zebru 3735m and Ortler
 3905m. An impressive trio.
König Ortler, in his own majesty. To the south the beautiful peaks Zufallspitzen, 3757m and Monte Cevedale, 3769m.



 We now continue to the Vordere Schöntaufspitze, here
 in the middle of the picture. Although many people climb
 Hintere Schöntaufspitze almost no one goes down this
 way.
I think that's a pity. This way down isn't much longer, gives
one more good viewpoint and the path is nice to walk.
Here is a look back to Hintere Schöntaufspitze.
The somewhat used cross on Vordere Schöntaufspitze. It took some climbing the last meters up to it, but I got a good grip on the cliffs and it wasn't very difficult. Far below is Sulden, at 1800m altitude.



 Having a good cup of cappucino at Madrichtshütte on the
 way down. It could be worse...
