Destinations around the Stubaital

Thanks to its central location, the Stubaital presents as perfect starting point to discover other points of interest in Tyrol. Authentic places of history, such as the Mint Tower in Hall, the Kufstein Fortress or the silver mine in Schwaz are all part of Tyrol’s history that are interactively and excitingly presented. Those interested in culture can use the concert and event offer in Innsbruck and combine it with their activity holidays in the Stubai.

Innsbruck - Tyrol's Capital

The close by town of Innsbruck as a cultural and social focus of Tyrol and Habsburg’s alpine treasure chamber invites visitors to come and discover: The baroque palaces of the aristocracy at the Maria Theresien Straße, the “Goldene Dachl”, the Hofburg and Hofkirche with the “Schwarze Mandern” and the cathedral of St. James are only some cultural and historical highlights of the historic centre. The historic centre actually possesses its own charm. Especially at Christmas time, it presents itself magnificently decorated. After skiing in the Stubaital, a visit to the Innsbrucker Christkindlmarkt, including a taste of mulled wine, sounds great. Travel time: 15 - 25 minutes.
Insider tip: The Stubaitalbahn takes you directly from the Stubaital to the Maria Theresien Straße in the heart of the city.

Mint tower an the historic centre of Hall

Just behind Innsbruck and thus not far away from the Stubai lies the medieval town of Hall with its marvellous historic centre, the best preserved and largest historic centre in Austria. A trip to Hall can be a welcome diversion during your family holidays in Tyrol. When strolling through the old lanes, you also pass by the Haller Mint Tower that today accommodates a much-visited museum. Visitors get to see a worldwide unique embossing machine, the first Taler of the world and many other interesting exhibits around the minting history of Europe. When you climb up the tower, the views from up there cover not only the historic centre of Hall, but extend far into the Inn valley and up the Karwendel mountains.

Tirol Panorama Museum, Ausflugsziel Stubaital

Tirol Panorama

The museum, visible already from the motorway, represents an architectural highlight. It is easy to reach, with a bus parking lot directly on site. The ski jump close by can be visited with a combination ticket together with the Tirol Panorama museum. In this way, you can ideally combine two main attractions of the city of Innsbruck in sports and culture. The Bergisel ski jump and the park with its statue of Andreas Hofer offer nature and recreation. The fabled myth of Tyrol is being analysed from various points of view in the new Tirol Panorama museum which opened in March 2011 and provides comprehensive insight into this exciting and complex topic. The giant round painting depicts the Tyrolean fight for liberty in fascinating and breath-taking 360-degree images on 1,000 square meters. The painting, created in 1896, documents all facets that constitute the myth of Tyrol.

Blick auf die Bergiselschanze in Innsbuck

Bergiselschanze

Already since 1927, the Bergisel has been professionally used as a ski jump. The new face of the ski jump was designed by the London-based architect Zaha Hadid. Since its completion in 2003, the jump is yet another architectural highlight of the city. The Bergiselschanze has its high time with the Vierschanzentournee (“Four Ski Jumps Tournament) at the beginning of January every year. Entire armies of fans and winter sports aficionados crowd the jump platform in Tyrol during that period. During the rest of the year, things are rather quiet. Then the panorama café is the meeting place for epicureans and Innsbruck insiders.

Stift Stams, Ausflugsziel Stubaital

Stift Stams

Stift Stams is widely visible in the Central Upper Inn Valley, south of the Inn and about 35 km west of the state capital of Innsbruck. Stift Stams was founded in 1273: Count Meinhard II von Görz intended to donate a monastery here that was to serve the von Görz family as a burial place. The monastery can still be visited. Above all the Romanesque Basilica with its artistic wall paintings is impressive. The monastery also operates a museum, a shop, a liquor distillery and an alpine dairy.
