Great place to stay and great place to ski. First time in Austria after years in France. What a difference! Quiet slopes, great snow, and polite locals!

Stubai glacier

Posted by MarkHolmes 18 July 2007

The Stubai valley, just 20 minutes south of Innsbruck, is only accessible via a toll road, which helps it to remain unspoilt even by Austrian standards.

The classic glacial valley, dotted with traditional Tirolean villages, winds its way up to the glacier, where you can use the excellent lifts to reach the Jochdole, the highest mountain restaurant in Austria at 3,150m, with fabulous alpine views to Italy on a clear day.

Getting there

Posted by JohnERobertson 17 October 2006

If you are travelling by train from Munich, there are two routes. Take the longer route via Garmish Partenkirchen, an amazing journey with super scenery.

Take the tram

Posted by JohnERobertson 17 October 2006

Take the tram up the Stubai valley to Fulpmes which is really beautiful, or the number 3 tram to Igls, then the cable car to the top of Patcherkorfl. I found a nice cafe at the top selling wonderful Goulash Soup.

Another nice trip is up the Hafflekar, funicular then two cable cars, but wear good boots with good soles. NOT trainers or high heels!
