Neustift Fulpmes
resort information: 1000 - 3200 metres
One of the main attractions of the Stubaital valley is its proximity
to Innsbruck, just 15 minutes drive away. The five typical Tirolean villages of
Schnberg, Mieders, Telfes Fulpmes and Neustift nestle in romantic Alpine scenery.
Although there are excellent modern ski facilities and high quality instruction,
the valley retains its traditional character. The ski-bus provides a connection
to the three skiing areas in the valley: the Stubai Glacier (year round skiing area),
Schlick 2000, both with special snowboarding areas, and the Elfer lifts.
Stubaital in summer
the Stubai Glacier is one of the most extensive summer ski areas
in Europe. Twin gondolas take you up to the network of lifts. But the slopes can
become very crowded, especially during German bank holidays. The glacier does close
for about a month in summer. In summer the valley is a haven for hikers and
mountain bikers. To avoid beginning with a steep climb, bikes can be taken onto
the lifts free of charge. Bikes can be hired locally. The valley is also a popular
base for motor bike tours.
Stubaital in winter
Neustift is a gentle ski area on wooded, north-facing slopes and
is the main base for the Stubai Glacier, a 20-minute drive away at the end of the
valley. Schlick 2000s skiing in Fulpmes is in a sheltered bowl on the 2,230-m Sennjoch.
Shlick 2000 is great for beginners and kids, and there's a Mickey Mouse club
at the glacier. There's a huge choice of pistes at the glacier. The Stubai Superskipass
also covers a small area at Milders and assorted lifts in the valley. Throughout
the resorts there are also toboggan runs, cross-country skiing routes and walking
paths. There is an ice-skating rink at the Elfer Lifts station, or for the more
adventurous, ice climbing is also a popular activity in the valley.
Number of lifts: 25: 5 gondolas, 11 chairlifts, 9 draglifts.
Access: Fulpmes-Neustift
is extremely easy to reach from Innsbruck, only 20km (12 miles) to the north) via
Route 183. There is a rail station in the resort and also good bus connections to
the city and airport.
