The Stubai Alps as a mountain relief

The Stubai Alps take their name from the Stubai Valley, which runs southwest from just south of Innsbruck deep into the group. A Freising tradition record from between 993 and 1005 already names the range “inter Alpes ad Stupeia”. The group is shared by Tyrol and South Tyrol. Around the Sellrain Valley and Kühtai the northern part has little glaciation left and is a popular ski touring area, while the Hochstubai at the head of the Stubai Valley is heavily glaciated and a classic area for high-alpine tours. At the Timmelsjoch the Stubai Alps connect with the Ötztal Alps, and together they form one of the largest mountain masses of the Eastern Alps.

Zuckerhütl, Wilder Pfaff, Wilder Freiger and Serles

The highest mountain is the Zuckerhütl at 3,507 m, entirely in North Tyrol and close to the border with South Tyrol. Its name, “little sugarloaf”, comes from its shape, which can already be seen from the entrance of the Stubai Valley; for a long time the Habicht at 3,277 m was considered the highest summit of the group. Beyond the Pfaffensattel saddle, the Wilder Pfaff at 3,456 m stands directly on the main Alpine ridge, and its east ridge continues over the Pfaffennieder to the Wilder Freiger at 3,418 m. Between the Stubai Valley and the Wipp Valley rises the Serles at 2,717 m; because of its three-tiered structure and its appearance from Innsbruck it is also called the “High Altar of Tyrol”.

Stubai High Trail and high-alpine tours

The Stubai High Trail (Stubaier Höhenweg) links eight huts on both sides of the Stubai Valley, among them the Franz Senn Hut, Dresdner Hut, Sulzenau Hut and Nürnberger Hut, starting and finishing in Neustift. The normal route to the Zuckerhütl leads from the glaciated Pfaffensattel over the east ridge; the saddle is reached from the Sulzenau Hut, the Dresdner Hut or the Hildesheimer Hut via the Sulzenauferner glacier. Because of rockfall, climbing it in summer is now advised against, and the local mountain guides only offer the tour in winter. From the north the Wilder Freiger is usually climbed from the Nürnberger Hut, from the south via the Becherhaus. The route up the Serles leads over the Serlesjöchl, for example from Matrei am Brenner via Maria Waldrast, finishing on a partly secured path.

Reliefs from the Stubai Alps

The Relief Classic Zuckerhütl, Wilder Freiger, Wilder Pfaff combines the three summits in one single-color model. The Serles is also available as Classic. The Relief Track Timmelsjoch shows the border pass to the Ötztal Alps with the route as a raised line.

Kalkkögel or Habicht as your own relief

For summits like the Kalkkögel or the Habicht, the live 3D configurator puts together any area you like. A stage of the Stubai High Trail as a GPX file becomes a Track relief with your own line. Each relief is made by hand in the Bavarian Alps from real elevation data, the base is oak or stone pine, and the engraving is optional.

The Stubai Alps as a gift

Zuckerhütl, Wilder Freiger, Serles: a relief can capture the winter ascent of the Zuckerhütl or the loop on the Stubai High Trail, as a keepsake for the rope team or the hiking group. Without a fixed destination, a gift card fits.

Which Stubai Alps summits are available as a ready-made relief?

Zuckerhütl, Wilder Freiger and Wilder Pfaff come together in one single-color Relief Classic, and the Serles is available as Classic too. As a Track with a raised line we offer the Timmelsjoch, the border pass to the Ötztal Alps.

Can I put a stage of the Stubai High Trail on a relief?

Yes. In the custom Relief Track you upload the stage as a GPX file or use a link from Strava, Komoot or Garmin. The route is modeled as a raised line in red or white, and up to two tracks fit on one relief. You choose the area around the huts yourself.

Can I set the area in the Stubai Alps myself, for example for the Habicht or the Kalkkögel?

Yes, in the live 3D configurator: search for a place by name, such as Neustift, the Habicht or the Kalkkögel, then move the area. The preview shows the relief from all sides before you order.

Are the Stubai Alps also available as a winter relief?

Yes, Relief Natural has a winter mode. It colors the area true to nature in forest, meadow, rock, water and snow, and you set the snow line yourself. For a ski touring area like the Sellrain Valley and Kühtai, winter mode is a good choice.
