Surrounded by 109 3,000-metre (10,000 ft) peaks and 80 glaciers, the Stubaital alpine valley is a natural jewel in the middle of the Austrian Alps. Wild streams, glittering mountain lakes, cosy alpine huts and unforgettable views are all waiting to be discovered. The best way to do this is by mountain bike! Around the holiday resorts of Neustift, Fulpmes, Telfes, Mieders and Schönberg, you can enjoy an extensive network of trails perfect for biking adventures.
The Stubaital in Tyrol is close to the provincial capital Innsbruck and is easily accessible from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Once you arrive, you’re immersed in another world: the world of mountains, glaciers, lakes and a world of outdoor adventures. There are 22 official biking routes with a combined length of 240 kilometres (150 mi) and each with a different level of challenge. They offer fantastic riding, taking you to idyllic places with culinary highlights. Hop on your bike, power up and enjoy a big plate of Kassspatzln (cheesy noodles and fried onion) or a hearty snack and a refreshing drink at the end.
The 10 Tours in this Collection are perfect if enjoyment is your priority. For the most part, we guide you along easy paths whisking you high up into the impressive mountain world. You’ll find great viewpoints and picturesque alpine pastures with refreshment stops on every single Tour. If the climbs are a bit too much, all Tours are also perfectly suited to e-bikes. Various charging and rental stations in the region ensure carefree time in the saddle.
As well as mountain biking, many other outdoor adventures such as hiking, climbing, trail running, paragliding, rafting, yoga, swimming and more will lure you out into the open. You don't have to compromise on accommodation either: from friendly campsites to comfortable five-star hotels and holiday apartments, it’s easy to find accommodation to suit.
