Stubai Valley
Waterfalls, mighty mountains and eternal ice
Visitors to the Stubai Valley enter a world of water, rock, and glaciers. Surrounded by over 100 peaks exceeding 3,000 metres and rushing mountain streams, the valley is famed for its natural beauty. Outdoor highlights await year-round, with alpine wonders easily accessible via mountain lifts like the Elferbahnen, which go directly into the high mountains.
At the valley’s end stands the Stubai Glacier, Austria’s largest glacier ski area, at an altitude of over 3,200 metres. Its slopes are snow-covered from October through June, and offer endless ski fun, cross-country skiing and family holiday moments.
With the Stubai Super Card, you'll get free travel on the Stubai cable cars and public transport, as well as free admission to indoor and outdoor pools.

Regional food culture speciality
Stubai Kiachl
Stubaier Kiachl were traditionally served by farmers' wives on festive days like harvest celebrations or church anniversaries. This classic yeast pastry, trendy in winter and on special occasions, has been enjoyed for generations. Passed down through the years, the recipe has become a symbol of regional food culture. Originally, Kiachl were a rarity, as frying in hot fat was once seldom possible.
Today, Kiachl are freshly prepared at markets and festivals, offered sweet with icing sugar and lingonberries or savoury with game ragout and red cabbage, keeping the taste and tradition of Tirolean cuisine alive.
