The Stubaier Höhenweg, or the Stubai High Trail, is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Austrian Alps. The hike begins in the village of Neustift in Stubaital in the heart of Tyrol, not far from Innsbruck. The Stubaier Höhenweg is the highlight of hut hikes in Austria and can be walked by young and old if they are sufficiently prepared.

This is the 3-day Stubaier Höhenweg, but with accommodation in a three-star guesthouse before and after the hike. On this version of the Stubaier Höhenweg, you hike two of the most beautiful stages and spend every night in one of the beautiful mountain huts. This version of the Höhenweg starts at the Dresdner Hut and ends at the Sulzenau Hut. Tourismusverband Stubaital ensures that your stay at all huts on the Höhenweg is arranged. Half board is also booked for you and this version of the hike comes with a guesthouse before and after the hike. This means you don't have to carry food along with you on the way and you can relax without worrying when you're not hiking.

Neustift - Dresdner Hütte

Duration: 02:10 h

Distance: 3 km

Ascent: 540 m

After breakfast, take bus 590 towards Neustift i. St. Mutterbergalm and get off at the final stop, Mutterbergalm—the starting point of your trek. From here, the trail immediately immerses you in alpine beauty as you cross glacier streams and pass a waterfall near the Alm.

Your ascent to the Dresdner Hütte begins with a series of zigzags, winding below the cable car line. The climb is steady but rewarding, and about halfway up it’s worth pausing to look back over the valley and take in the sweeping views of the Stubai Alps.

With a final push through a few more zigzags, the iconic Dresdner Hütte soon comes into sight, welcoming you after a two-hour hike through some of the most striking scenery in the region.

Day

Dresdner Hütte - Sulzenau Hütte

Duration: 03:20 h

Distance: 5.1 km

Ascent: 410 m

Descent: 510 m

Today's stage may be short in distance, but it offers some of the most striking scenery of the Stubai Alps. Soon after leaving the Dresdner Hütte, you will cross a bridge over the Fernaubach Gorge and make your way towards the Steinmännchen Saddle, with its distinctive rocky terrain. From here, the trail starts to get real, with cables provided in sections to help with the ascent to the Peiljoch.

Shortly after conquering the highest point of the day, the route turns southward and rewards you with a closer look at the Sulzenausee. As you descend into the glacier valley, you will pass colorful, glacially polished rock formations before reaching a junction. Follow the signs east towards the Sulzenau Hütte, where the landscape softens and the views remain spectacular.

From the Sulzenau Hütte, it is worth taking an additional hike and visiting the "blauen Lacke." This lake is one of the highlights of the Wild Water Trail in the Stubai Mountains. Fed by meltwater from the upper glacier, the lake almost always shines in a distinct blue-turquoise color.

Day

Sulzenau Hütte - Neustift

Duration: 02:35 h

Distance: 5.4 km

Ascent: 70 m

Descent: 660 m

From the Sulzenau Hütte, today’s stage takes you downhill into the valley. The trail begins with a few zigzags, leading you past the impressive Sulzenau Waterfall. From here, continue walking with the river by your side until you reach the Sulzenau Alm. After about 3 km, the route briefly turns west before continuing north towards the Grawa Alm.

Along the way, you will pass the viewing platform of the stunning Grawa Waterfall, one of the highlights of the Wild Water Trail. Soon after, cross the Wildwasserweg Bridge and walk past the Grawa Alm mountain hut as you approach the valley floor. Once descended, you will find the bus stop where you can take bus 590 back to Neustift.
