NORTHERN STUBAI
Glaciers and accessible summits in the Austrian Tyrol
READY TO SKI ?
The Stubai range is found in the Central Eastern European Alps, on the western end of Austria between Italy, Germany and Switzerland, and is one of the most attractive ski touring destinations in the Alps. The southern part of the range is in Northern Italy, but most of the Stubai is in Austria. It is the steepest of the three massifs of the Austrian Tyrol (Silvretta, Oetztal, Stubai). The area offers some beautiful routes on the glaciers and many summits are accessible on skis at various levels of difficulty. The North part is less known, and we are offering a circuit route with many as summit ascents as possible.
• Accessible peaks
• Comfortable refuges
• Great Austrian skiing with loads of summits
