What to do
- Ride to the Top of Tyrol platform in the high weeks.
- Walk the glacier trail from Fernau to Eisgrat (about 2 hours, 600 m of ascent).
- Take children to the free Mammut playground at Eisgrat, see Stubai Glacier with kids.
- Combine it with a valley day: hiking in the Stubai Valley or Neustift.
Even in July it is cold and often cloudy at 3,000 m. Bring a jacket and gloves, see what to wear.
