Surrounded by 80 glaciers and 109 3,000-metre (9,842 ft) peaks, the Stubai Valley offers great hiking for all ability levels in summer, from a thrilling high-altitude hike to the eternal ice of the Stubai Glacier and themed trails that promise true adventure in the mountains. Read our five reasons why you should spend your hiking holiday in the Stubai Valley in Austria:
1. The Stubai mountain lakes
The Stubai mountain lakes are especially magical in the early morning hours, when they are still in shade whilst the Wilder Freiger peak is already illuminated by the sun. The lakes are a wonderful place to relax.
2. The Stubai’s nature
In the Stubai Valley, you journey through picturesque, untouched Tyrolean landscapes and idyllic Stubai nature – the perfect backdrop for adventure and relaxing breaks.
3. The WildWaterTrail
The WildWaterTrail leads past raging mountain rivers to the mighty Grawa Waterfall, a natural monument and the widest waterfall in the Eastern Alps.
4. The Seven Summits Stubai
Unique summit moments on the Seven Summits Stubai, the seven most characteristic Stubai mountains with majestic views.
5. The Stubai High Trail
If you have plenty of surefootedness, a basic fitness level and a head for heights, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views on the Stubai High Trail (komoot.de/collection/336).
Enjoy the fresh mountain air, admire the unique panorama and discover the mountain world of the Stubai for yourself!
