Hiking Stubai Valley

Roadbook

With the 3S Eisgrat cable car we go up to the Eisgrat and continue with the Schaufeljoch cable car to the "Top of Tyrol" at 3,210m. In the summer months a path leads down over the glacier to the Eisgrat. Past the mountain station, the path goes through the moraine landscapes to the Dresdner Hut. With the 3S Eisgrat cable car it goes back down to the valley.
