Cycling tours in the valley

Where families and connoisseurs roll along, the Stubai Valley is at the forefront. The new Stubai Cycle Route 19 is around 40 kilometers long and offers a unique experience for all those who want to discover the valley in a comfortable, safe and active way - whether on a running bike, racing bike, city bike or e-bike.
You cycle through the impressive landscape of the Stubai valley floor without any major inclines, while the Ruetz stream babbles quietly beside you - sometimes gently, sometimes wildly, the closer you get to the glacier. The imposing ice giants above the valley accompany you visually and create an incomparable backdrop for your cycling adventure.

Through the whole valley - all the way to Innsbruck

Cycle route 19 not only leads through the entire Stubaital, but also offers a perfect connection via the Kirchbrücke bridge in Fulpmes to the Stefansbrücke bridge near Innsbruck with the feeder road 19a towards Innsbruck. This makes a trip from the city to the valley very easy by bike.
Although some sections are not yet asphalted and occasionally roads have to be crossed, the route is already passable throughout, from the Wipptal junction to the foot of the glacier.

The route sections:

 Into the valley from Neustift towards the glacier

The section of cycle route 19 from Neustift to Falbeson is a real adventure for families - not because of the sporting challenge, but because of the many temptations and stops that await along the way. On the approximately 10 kilometers towards the glacier, cyclists of all ages will encounter culinary temptations, wild watercourses, playgrounds and rest stops that will test their patience every time they continue.
If you stop off at the health lake in Milders, for example, you will probably need longer than planned - not to mention the Klaus Äuele Kids Park: There, a low ropes course, a raft, swings and climbing elements provide so much fun that the little bike will happily take a longer break. The ride to the Doadler Alm quickly becomes a minor matter - but that's exactly what makes this family-friendly section of cycle route 19 so special.

 Between Neustift and the church bridge in Fulpmes

On the section between Neustift and the church bridge in Fulpmes , cycling in summer is a truly refreshing experience. Whether you cycle into or out of the valley - it's not just about exercise here, but also about cooling off and enjoying yourself. The absolute family favorite: Lake Kampl. Located directly on the trail, it has a sandy playground , paddling fun in the water, swings, slides and even a beach volleyball court for the older ones. While the children run around, parents can relax in the shade of the trees - a break that everyone loves.
And if that's not enough, you can really dive in at the nearby StuBay swimming paradise in Telfes - with indoor and outdoor pools, slides and wellness facilities. If you want to go higher again, you can aim for the next destination in the Schlick 2000 - with cool mountain air and fantastic views.

 From Fulpmes to Schönberg and in the direction of Wipptal or Innsbruck

If you cycle along the Stubai Cycle Route 19 further out of the valley towards Schönberg or even into the Wipptal valley and Innsbruck, you will experience perhaps the most unspoilt section of the entire route. Between the Kirchbrücke bridge and the Stefansbrücke bridge (variant 19a), an untouched landscape of deep green forests and lush meadows unfolds - without any tourist infrastructure, but with all the more enjoyment of nature.
Even though there are no refreshment stops along this section and the connection to the European cycle path network (Inntal Cycle Path) is not yet fully developed, it is definitely worth pedaling - especially out of the valley, when the downhill section is relaxed. However, you should be prepared for some steeper sections on the way back.
From the Kirchbrücke bridge, you also have the option of branching off south via Schönberg into the Wipptal valley - and for ambitious cyclists, you can even continue over the Brenner Pass all the way to Italy. If you choose this section, you should take into account not only the natural beauty but also the road traffic, descents and altitude difference.
