STUBAIER HÖHENWEG

The STUBAIER HÖHENWEG "Stubai High Trail" is the ultimate challenge in the heart of the Alps. The run starts in Neustift in the Stubai Valley and then leads 78 kilometers and 5930 meters of altitude along the entire Stubai High Trail, a technically extremely demanding, high alpine trail, before finally returning to Neustift. Located at an altitude of 2,100 - 2,900 meters, the Stubai High Trail is characterized by 8 huts, cultivated landscapes and wild, pristine high mountain regions and thus offers a unique trail running experience of its kind.
Please note: Due to the difficulty of the route (high alpine terrain, several large snow fields, easy rope and climbing passages), runners must meet certain criteria in order to register for the run.

STUBAIER HÖHENWEG "Stubai High Trail" Registration conditions:

Requirements for the runners
The STUBAIER HÖHENWEG places the highest demands on fitness, willpower and experience in the high mountains. Participants must have personal autonomy in the mountains that enables them to overcome problems without external help, such as night, wind, cold, fog, rain, snow, altitude, physical and mental problems that occur due to great fatigue, digestive problems, muscle and joint pain, minor injuries, etc. Cut-off times are strictly enforced.
Cut-off times are rigorously enforced. If in doubt, please choose a shorter route (STUBAI ULTRA or STUBAI CLASSIC).
