My guest Pit and I happen to have the same day off; it&#8217;s just after the summer solstice; the weather is warm, actually very hot, and thunderstorm-free!<\/p>\n<p>The Grundschartner&#8217;s shape is somewhat similar to the famous Badile ridge in the Bregaglia Valley. Although far less well known, this mountain offers wonderful climbing on solid &#8220;Zillertal granite&#8221; (although it is strictly speaking gneiss). Once you&#8217;ve completed the almost four-hour approach, you enjoy climbing higher over cracks, slabs, and the occasional overhang. A stunning panorama opens up from the summit: the Northern, Central, and Southern Alps (and the Dolomites, respectively) catch the eye of the skilled mountaineer.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, &#8220;only&#8221; the approximately four-hour descent remains (which is why it&#8217;s recommended to do the tour in early summer to take advantage of existing old snowfields for a speedy descent).<\/p>\n<p>But the magnificent &#8220;sea&#8221; of thousands of different flowers below the snow line makes up for the effort and has an enchanting effect.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rgg-container\" data-rgg-id=\"1\">    <div
