Stubai is a natural year-round playground with its crisp mountain air, crystal clear lakes and lofty peaks that rise up to 3,000 meters above sea level The Stubai glacier is certainly the Top of Tyrol in more than one respect: three modern cableway services and a secure glacier trail from the Eisgrat mountain terminal take you up to its 3,150 metre summit, with Austria’s highest mountain restaurant waiting for you once you get there. Situated right in the heart of the dazzling glacier world, the Jochdohle offers you breathtaking views of the Dolo­mites, the Ortler Group and Bernina. Total snow depth: 80 cm
