About Stubaital

The Stubaital south of Innsbruck is one of the most impressive high valleys in the Alps, combining everything that mountain and winter sports enthusiasts could wish for in a compact area. From the gentle alpine meadows at Schönberg to the eternal ice of the Stubaier Glacier at over 3,200 meters, a landscape of breathtaking diversity unfolds, allowing glacier skiing from October to June. The Stubaier Glacier is Austria's largest glacier ski area and offers the highest viewing platform in Tyrol – the "Top of Tyrol" – at 3,333 meters. In summer, the valley transforms into a hiking paradise with the famous Stubaier Höhenweg, one of the most beautiful high-altitude hiking trails in the Alps, which leads from hut to hut over seven stages through the fascinating high mountain world. The four towns in the valley – Schönberg, Mieders, Telfes, and Neustift – maintain their authentic Tyrolean character with traditional farms, cozy inns, and warm hospitality. The Stubaier WildeWasserWeg trilogy leads along spectacular waterfalls and gorges, while the bird of prey park at the Elferbergbahn showcases eagles, vultures, and owls in free flight. The Serlesbahnen in Mieders offers pure family fun with the longest summer toboggan run in Tyrol. For German holidaymakers, the Stubaital is particularly conveniently accessible due to its proximity to Innsbruck and excellent motorway connections.
