Stubai Other Activities
Join the lively moonlit toboggan nights, go Nordic walking, snowshoeing, sign-up for a cross-country skiing tour on the Stubai Glacier or learn to ice climb. These are just some of the activities that make Stubaital such an interesting and genuinely varied winter sports destination.
Tobogganing in Stubaital
Stubai has the largest tobogganing arena in the Tirol. With eleven tracks and over 40 kilometres of downhill. These are superb natural toboggan runs through the trees. Elfer is the tobogganing Mecca of the Stubai Valley and illuminated runs there mean that night tobogganing is a popular event three times a week.
Winter Walking & Snowshoeing in Stubaital
Loads of laid out winter hiking paths make the Stubaital special for hikers and snowshoers. Cleared and rolled routes come up the valley from Schonberg to Neustift and with routes through beautiful winter wonderlandscapes also in Serles, Schlick 2000 and on the Stubai Glacier, some laid out as circuits, there is a feast on offer here.
Cross-country Skiing in Stubaital
Well prepared groomed cross-country trails run all through the Stubaital. There are over 70km of trails to run on, so Nordic skiers can have a field day here. As well as the valley trail there are trails at Schlick 2000 as well as a cross-country trail high up on the Stubai Glacier. Through the ski school at Gamsgarten, you can sign up for a mini cross-country skiing tour on the Glacier that involves a short ascent and lovely long descent. Take a spin on the tubing run or learn to ice climb on the on-mountain tower at Gamsgarten.
Ice-climbing in Stubaital
There is also an ice climbing tower on the Stubai Glacier near the Gamsgarten station, where every Froiday at 1pm introductory courses are held. When available there are some frozen waterfalls for proficient ice climbers.
Ice-skating in Stubaital
