I am investigating the possibilities of a 1-2 week bouldering trip to some cooler climes sometime in late August and I think I have it down to 2 options (though other suggestions welcome): Mello or Zillertal.

So questions:

Decent conditions in late August? This, after all, would be part of the point of going to the Alps.

What sort of grade spread do these places have? On paper they look OK for me (working 7a-7b, but I like to have plenty of 6s to salve my ego). I know some places (Magic Wood?) are no fun unless you are a fair bit stronger than that.

Logistics? Looks like the easiest way to Mello is to fly to Milan (or get the train?) and hire a car. For Zillertal I suppose it would be Innsbruck, but the flights are a bit crap to get there so maybe Munich or Salzburg? I'm guessing both crags are super inaccessible without getting a car? (I'm lazy and cheap)

Any other tips or accommodation recommendations most welcome!
