Rent a chalet in the Stubai Valley – and find your days out
Five villages, four cable cars and a glacier at the head of the valley: waterfalls, mountain lakes, family outings and alpine pastures all lie close together here, and Innsbruck is barely half an hour away. Our three chalets stand in Neustift – each with a jacuzzi and a spa area. What you can do from there is right below, sorted by what you feel like today.

Grawa waterfall
One of the widest waterfalls in the Eastern Alps drops over a broad rock face in the rear Stubai valley. A short water trail and a wooden platform lead close to the spray – on warm days the coolest spot in the valley, and reachable without a long walk.

WildeWasserWeg
Three stages lead from the glacier down past gorges, waterfalls and moorland into the valley. Each stage can be walked on its own; the section past the Grawa waterfall is the most popular and the easiest.

The Stubai mountain lakes
Nine mountain lakes lie in the side valleys and high basins of the Stubai. Some can be reached in an hour from a cable car station, others are a full day tour for experienced walkers – the tourist board lists all of them with times.

Stubaier Höhenweg
Around eight days from hut to hut, high above the valley on both sides – one of the best known long-distance routes in Tirol. Single sections work well as day hikes from the cable cars if you do not want the whole tour.
Birds of prey park in Telfes
Eagles, owls and vultures at close range, with flight demonstrations during the season. Reached from Telfes on foot or with the Stubaitalbahn – a classic when the peaks are in cloud.
StuBay leisure pool in Telfes
Indoor and outdoor pools, slides, a children’s area and a sauna world. The reliable answer to a wet week – and after a long descent it is not the worst idea either.
Forging tradition in Fulpmes
Fulpmes lived from iron for centuries; tools and climbing gear from the valley are still known far beyond it. The local museum and the historic forge sites tell that story – opening times are seasonal, so check before you go.
Climbing and high ropes
Rope courses, climbing gardens and via ferratas of very different levels lie spread across the valley. For children a course with graded routes is the safer start – the tourist board lists the current providers and difficulty grades.

Stubai Glacier
At the head of the valley the cable cars run up to around 3.200 metres. The viewing platform, the ice grotto and the high-altitude trails are open in summer too – take a warm layer, it is a different season up there.

Elfer in Neustift
The sunny side above Neustift: panorama trails, a playground at the middle station and in winter one of the longest natural toboggan runs in the area. Good for a half day when you do not want a long approach.

Schlick 2000 above Fulpmes
Theme trails, a mountain playground and the Kalkkögel as a backdrop – those jagged peaks are why the range is called the Dolomites of the North. In winter a compact ski area that suits families well.

Serlesbahnen in Mieders
The smallest of the four areas, right at the entrance of the valley. Up top a water playground, gentle pasture paths and a view across to the Serles – the mountain Goethe is said to have called the high altar of Tirol.

Mountain biking
Marked mountain bike routes lead up to the alpine pastures on both sides of the valley, and the cable cars take bikes in season. Gradients are honest here – the valley is steep, and the descents are the reward.

The valley cycle path
Along the Ruetz from Neustift down to Schönberg runs a mostly gentle path, largely away from the road. Downhill it is easy with children – and the Stubaitalbahn brings you back up.

Skiing
Four ski areas from the glacier down to the small sun mountain, and one ski pass for all of them. The glacier usually opens earliest in the year and closes latest.

Tobogganing
Around ten natural toboggan runs are prepared in the valley, several of them lit in the evening. Sledges can be hired at most of the starting points – the run from the Elfer is the long one.

Cross country skiing
Tracks run along the valley floor between Neustift and Fulpmes, classic and skating. Flat, quiet and a good alternative on days when the slopes are full.

Snowshoe walking
Signposted snowshoe routes lead up to the alpine pastures away from the pistes. Please stay on the marked lines – wildlife needs its rest zones in winter, and avalanche risk is real.

Stubai farmers market in Neustift
The market at the music pavilion in Neustift is the best way into the valley: cheese, bacon, bread, schnapps, all from farms nearby. It does not take place every day – the dates are listed by the tourist board.

s’Gadile in Fulpmes
The farm shop in Fulpmes brings together what the farms in the valley produce, and it is open even when no market is on. Handy if you want to pick something up halfway to your accommodation.

Straight from the farm
In all five villages farms sell directly: milk, eggs, potatoes, meat, often from a vending machine outside opening hours too. Ask at your accommodation – the nearest one is usually a few minutes away.
Nothing here for that yet – ask your hosts, they know the area.

Today we simply stay at the chalet
That is a good day in the Stubai Valley too: spa area on, jacuzzi warm, mountains in view. The village bakery is within walking distance.
Stubai Super Card
With the guest card you ride the cable cars and buses in the valley for less and get into pools and museums. What applies to your chalet is listed with the accommodation.
You hear water everywhere
The Grawa waterfall, the WildeWasserWeg and the streams at the head of the valley – summer in the Stubai is loud with water and calm all the same.
Four mountains, one ski pass
The glacier, the Elfer, Schlick 2000 and the Serles cable cars all lie in the same valley; in winter the ski buses run on a regular clock.
