The view of the Stubai Alps on the way to the glacier’s cable car is already stunningly impressive. The real adventure begins, however, when you embark on a hiking or mountaineering trip across this high-alpine landscape. What would otherwise require and long strenuous climb to get to, the Stubai Gletscherbahn lift company helps you reach comfortably and in no time at all: the spectacular mountain world with its three-thousand-metre-high peaks towering around the eternal ice! With a certain joyous anticipation but no physical exertion, at the top station of the Schaufeljochbahn (3,150 m) you enter a panoramic world that offers unequalled opportunities. The Stubai high altitude mountains just a stone’s throw away, the mountains of the eastern Central Alps behind them, the Dolomites, the Ortler region and peak after peak as far as the eye can see.
