Hiking in Neustift im Stubaital
Neustift im Stubaital is the centre of the Stubaital – with the Elferhütte as its landmark, the Pinnistal as a tranquil side valley and direct access to the highest huts in the region. 58 huts and 46 routes await you.
Neustift im Stubaital – the Starting Point
Neustift im Stubaital lies at approx. 1,000 m altitude and is the main village of the Stubaital – about 30 km south of Innsbruck. From here all major hiking destinations are directly accessible: the Elferhütte (2,080 m) by gondola or on foot, the Pinnistal with Pinnisalm, Neue Regensburger Hütte and Innsbrucker Hütte.
The village of Neustift is characterised by its impressive church tower, the Stubai mountain backdrop and the Serles (2,718 m) as the eastern guardian. In summer Neustift is a hiking village, in winter a ski mecca – but the Stubaital in summer is the better Stubaital.
From Neustift most tours start into the Pinnistal (quiet, family-friendly) and to the Elferhütte (gondola or 2h ascent, 360° panorama). Both are a must.
