Day 2
Guided hike to the Starkenburger Hütte
After breakfast, the group meets the hiking guide. Together they travel to Neustift in the Stubai Valley. The Elferbahn cable car comfortably covers the first few hundred meters of altitude. The varied mountain hike then begins, leading across alpine pastures and along panoramic trails to the Starkenburger Hütte mountain hut at 2,237 meters. Along the way, the mountain guide shares interesting facts about the alpine landscape, the wildlife, and life on the mountain pasture. After a relaxing stop at the hut, there's plenty of time to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Stubai Glacier. In the evening, we will have a communal meal in the mountain hut and spend the night in a shared room.

In such cases, our experienced local guide will react flexibly and adjust the route or program accordingly to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
