The Stubaital
The Stubai Valley, or Stubaital, stretches southwest from Schönberg, which sits 27 km south of Innsbruck, north of the Brenner Pass on the A13 Autobahn. While neither the most expansive nor the most compact resort around Innsbruck, the long Stubai Valley draws guests for its good hiking and climbing opportunities, for the nearby glacier and its long-season slopes, and for the valley’s inexpensive, family- friendly accommodations. Four villages lie along the Stubaital road, or Route 183, and the parallel Ruetz River: Mieders, Telfes, Fulpmes, and Neustift. Each village offers accommodations and limited lift facilities, but Neustift, farthest along the valley, by far gets the most attention from tourists.
