Ascent to the Hintere Schöntaufspitze (3325 m)

Despite the altitude, the ascent route is simple. Sometimes you just need to hold on to a rock. The view is a bit deceiving, the peak itself is a bit further than it seems.

After a few tens of meters of ascent, a nice view opens not only back to the pass, but also to two well-known mountains in the Ortles – Zufallspitzen (3,757m) and Monte Cevedale (3,769m).

One of the reasons to climb the Hintere Schöntaufspitze is this view of the beautiful Cevedale massif and the Zufallferner glacier

The main view in this area is of the giants, from left: Gran Zebrù (3,851m), Monte Zebrù (3,735m) and Ortler (3,905m). The top station of the cable car can be seen deep below.

What seemed like a peak for a long time was just the edge of the field. It is followed by such a plateau, and beyond it is the main peak, which has a rather hilly character.

Despite the fact that the Hintere Schöntaufspitze is a mountain with a height of over 3,300 meters above sea level, it is certainly no wilderness at the top. Dozens of tourists can fit here (fortunately there aren't that many here)

The valley with the town of Sulden crouches a kilometer and a half below you

The peaks to the east are about half a kilometer lower than those to the west. The view is dominated by the Vertainspitze (3,545m). The second highest mountain in this part is the Hohe Angelusspitze (3,521m)

The view of the Martelltal valley is only slightly better than from the Passo del Madriccio.

The view of Cevedale is truly mountainous.

The return is the same way back.
