If you want to experience what it’s like to walk inside an ice tunnel carved inside a real glacier, then don’t miss the Stubai Ice Grotto! We have visited countless ice tunnels over the years, including the most impressive ones at Mt. Titlis and Jungfraujoch in Switzerland, and I have to say that the Stubai Ice Grotto offers one of the best experie...
In addition to the ice tunnel and glacier hike near Eisgrat mountain station, there is also a nice playground for the kids here – Mammoth Adventure Playground. You can’t miss the giant mammoth with a slide-nose. While it’s probably not the best idea to try climbing inside the mammoth as an adult, if you are visiting with kids, you definitely have t...

Walk down from Eisgrat mountain station(2.900 m) to Dresdner Hütte at the middle cable car station Fernau (2.300 m). This downhill hike would take about 2 hours. 1. Hikefrom Dresdner Hütte...

How Much Time Do You Need
As you can see, there is enough to see and do at Stubai Glacier, so you could easily spend an entire day here. However, if you are just planning to visit the Top of Tyrol viewing platform and the Stubai Ice Grotto, you could do it in about 2 hours. Add another hour if you are planning to have lunch at one of the mountain restaurants. We spent a bit less than 3 hours visiting Stubai Glacier. We saw all the highlights and also spent some time at the playground, but since it was late afternoon,...
Where to Stay
You can stay in any village of Stubai Valley and explore everything from one central location. If you want to have all the facilities within easy reach, we recommend staying in the main village – Neustift im Stubaital.

Both accommodations offer the free Stubai Super Card, which saved us hundreds of euros on gondolas and other...
