background
The mountains are about 50 km long from northwest to southeast and about 35 kilometers wide from southwest to northeast. The deepest point at 570 m is the confluence of the Sill from the Wipptal into the Inn near Innsbruck, the highest mountain peak is the Zuckerhütl at 3507 m. In total there are around seventy to ninety three-thousand-meter peaks in the mountains, depending on how they are counted.
The origin of the word Stubai as a name for the eponymous valley lies in the darkness of history. The name "Stubai" was transferred from the valley to the mountains with the rise of mountain tourism, so "in the Stubai" can mean both the Stubai Valley and the mountains.
Border valleys are that in the east Wipptal in North Tyrol and the Wipptal in South Tyrol (Upper Eisack Valley and Still Valley) in the south the Ratschings Valley, Jaufenpass, Passeier and Timmelsjoch, in the west that Ötztal and in the north that Upper Inn Valley. The Stubai Alps can be completely circumnavigated on the road in these valleys, the length of the circuit is a good 200 kilometers.
Adjacent mountain groups are in the east Zillertal Alps, in the south the Sarntal Alps, in the west the Ötztal Alps and in the north the Mieming chain and the Karwendel in the Northeast. The latter are separated from the Stubai Alps by the Inn Valley.
The vast majority Valley shape is that of the Trogtals, created by the glaciers in the ice ages.
The Woods the valley slopes are still predominantly made of stone pine, occasionally locations at altitudes over 2000 m are reached. However, the very slow growing trees, which can live for over a thousand years, are on the decline.
A short history of culture and tourism
The first settlements by Rhaeto-Romans are for the Stubai Valley as early as around 2000 BC. occupied.
During the time of the Great Migration, Bavarian ethnic groups began to colonize the more southerly and somewhat more inhospitable valleys.
From the 15th to the 17th century, iron and silver finds ensured an economic upswing, some of the iron smiths or their successors remained to this day Fulpmes receive.
The 18th century was a bit quieter, the lonely alpine valleys were home to many artists. Names are e.g. those of the painters Anton Josef Zoller and Josef and Leopold Pellacher or that of the crib maker Ludwig Penz and the diocesan master builder Franz de Paula Penz, architect of many late baroque churches in the region, among others. in Brixen and in Neustift.
Another important name is that of Andreas Hofer from the Passeiertal, Tyrolean national hero, freedom fighter and leader of the Tyrolean uprising movement of 1809.
In the 19th century, with the modern age, tourism increasingly developed as the main source of income in the region.
geology
Crystalline bedrock 80% of the area is dominated by gneiss and mica slate, with the harder granite gneisses for the more massive peaks and with the mica slate for the somewhat gentler and rounded mountain formations.
The mica slate is often enriched with garnets (small red-brown bumps in the rock), they range from the size of a pea to crystals weighing less than a kilo, although they are rarely found. One of the best finding areas is that High Villerspitze, a 3,092 m high mountain near Lüsens in the southeastern Sellrainer mountains.
The remaining geological twenty percent is that Stubai Limestone Alps consisting of main dolomite and Schrattenkalk. Striking peaks here are, for example, the Kalkkögel, which can be seen far over the Inn Valley.
Another prominent example of the main dolomite are the Pflerscher Tribulaune above the Pflerschtal, which should actually be called the Dolomites themselves (and not the other mountain range further south), because here at the end of the 18th century the French geologist Deodat de Dolomieu discovered a lime-like light gray rock on a research trip across the Alps, which after several chemical laboratory tests contained no water and when exposed to acid did not immediately develop gas like the other limestones. He sent it to the chemist, botanist and geologist Nicholas de Saussure (the son of Horace Bénédict de Saussure, the main sponsor of the first Mont Blanc-Ascent), who then used the rock in honor of the discoverer dolomite called.

Tourist Attractions
Mountains and peaks
sorted by height:
Zuckerhütl
At 3,507 m, the Zuckerhütl is the highest mountain in the Stubai Alps. His Names it owes it to the characteristic and uniform shape in the view from the east.
The first ascent took place in 1863 by Joseph Anton Specht with mountain guide Alois Tanzer.
The Ascent is generally an alpine glacier tour, rope, ice ax and crampons are essential, the firn ridge has an incline of up to 40 °, the mountain is much visited, there are several route variants to the summit:
- Assuming you are fit and suitable for altitude, the summit is possible as a day tour with the support of the Stubai Glacier Railway via the Heinrich Klier Route. On the Pfaffengrat there are some climbing points with a difficulty level of 2 to be mastered.
- The Zuckerhütl is feasible as a multi-day tour from the Sulzenauhütte and the Hildesheimer Hütte, in winter also as a ski tour.
Ruderhofspitze
At 3473 m, it is the fourth highest peak in the mountains.
The Ascent is a demanding glacier tour in summer, the base is the Franz-Senn hut. Also as a popular ski tour in winter.
hawk
With its 3,277 m height, the Habicht is the highest peak in the Habicht-Elfer-Kamm. Because of its isolated position and the massive rock form that is clearly visible all around, it has long been considered the highest Stubai summit.
The Normal way leads from the Innsbrucker Hütte over a ridge, over steep blocks with safety ropes, and over the crevice-free firn field of the Habichtferner to the summit. In favorable weather conditions, the tour is unproblematic, the hawk is one of the easier three thousand meter peaks, but should not be underestimated for this reason: Surefootedness, a head for heights and alpine experience are essential.
Mountains around that Sellraintal:
Lüsenser Fernerkogel
Also "Lisenser Fernerkogel" (3,298 m) a striking rocky summit, its summit is an ambitious and strenuous destination for ski tourers.
Hissgeles
(3004 m), one of the most visited ski touring mountains in the Eastern Alps.
Broad Grieskogel
At 3,287 m, the Breite Grieskogel is one of the highest peaks in Sellrain. Because of its location high and dominant over the Ötztal, it can enjoy a wide view of the Ötztal Alps wait, it is correspondingly popular with mountaineers.
The first ascent took place in 1881 by the alpine pioneer Ludwig Purtscheller and F. Schnaiter.
The Normal way leads in summer from the base of the Winnebachseehütte to the summit in a good three hours. In winter, the summit is also an easy to moderately difficult ski tour, the upper part of the ascent is partially at risk of avalanches when there is fresh snow.
For those who are particularly fit, the summit is also available as a day tour from Gries in the Ötztal and feasible with an increase of around 1,600 mH.
Particularly experienced mountaineers can also climb the summit from Niederthai.
Kalkkögel
The Kalkkögel mountain range is one of the Stubai Limestone Alps and is located in the northern part of the Stubai Alps. The Kalkkögel owe their distinctive shapes with rugged walls and pronounced jagged ridges, which are visible far into the surrounding area and into the Inn valley, to their special structure: the peaks consist of main dolomite, underneath are layers of weather stone dolomite, lumpy lime and shell limestone with a substructure of gneiss like the neighboring mountain parts .
The highest peak is the Schlicker Seespitze (2,804 m), other well-known peaks are the bulky Ochsenwand (2,700 m), Gamskogel (2,659 m) and Steingrubenkogel (2,633 m). The Kalkkögel with its numerous towers and spikes are often referred to as the "Dolomites of North Tyrol" and are a landmark for the whole of Tyrol. There are also a number of smaller cirque lakes in the vicinity of the Kalkkögel.
Protected area: Since 1983 the mountains and the region around the Kalkkögel have a wild and pristine mountain world as Tyrolean reserve designated in the vicinity of Innsbruck (77.7 km², altitude: 690-3087 m), the Fotscher Bach is its own natural monument. Plans to abolish the Kalkkögel quiet area for the construction of a cable car to connect the ski areas Axamer Lizum and Schlick ski area The Hochtennscharte is hotly debated and has so far been stopped by nature conservationists.
The region at the foot of the Kalkkögel is now a very popular hiking area, although the higher peaks themselves are not easily accessible: the rocks are primarily the home of climbers, the opening of the Kalkkögel via climbing routes on the ridges and in the walls began at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The few paths to the summit are generally no longer easy, even for more experienced mountain hikers.
- Schlicker Seespitze: The highest peak of the Kalkögel is from the Adolf Pichler Hut (1,977 m) can be reached via a steep ascent with some secured climbing spots in the rocks.
- Ox wall: The bulky Ochsenwand consists of the main summit (2,700 m 47 ° 9 ′ 16 ″ N.11 ° 16 '42 "E) and from the northern neighboring sub-peak. The Kleine Ochsenwand (2,520 m a.s.l.) 47 ° 9 '34 "N.11 ° 16 ′ 45 ″ E) connects to the north.
Große Ochsenwand, summit on the left, northern pre-summit on the right
- The two peaks of the Große Ochsenwand are divided into two parts Schlicker via ferrata Developed as a crossing: The tour with an ascent via the south ridge, crossing the summit and descent via the north ridge from the secondary summit applies because of the height differences (700 mH ascent, 1350 mH descent to the middle station of the mountain railway) and because of the length (approx. 7 - 9 Hours) as physically demanding and is technically as moderately difficult alpine via ferrata rated, helmet and via ferrata gear are required. Because of the good development in the impressive rocky backdrop, the Schlicker via ferrata is one of the most attractive via ferrata facilities in Tyrol and is accordingly very popular.
- The easiest way to access the Schlicker via ferrata is from the mountain station of the Cable car to the Kreuzjoch (2,100 m, valley location is Fulpmes) and descent to the Schlicker valley floor. Since the train only runs from around 9 a.m. in summer, we recommend that you inquire about an earlier start date Schlicker Alm after an "alpine taxi". From the entrance (approx. 2,000m, 47 ° 8 '58 "N.11 ° 17 ′ 5 ″ E) it goes straight up into the rock, in the upper part there are also some steeper craggy slopes in front of the main summit (47 ° 9 ′ 16 ″ N.11 ° 16 '42 "E). The crossing to the northern pre-summit (47 ° 9 '23 "N.11 ° 16 ′ 44 ″ E) is less difficult, the descent from the north summit on the east side past the Kleiner Ochsenwand and to the transition Alpenklubscharte (2,451 m, 47 ° 9 '36 "N.11 ° 16 ′ 51 ″ E) as the end of the climbing system is a bit easier than the ascent over the south ridge, but certainly not easy either. From the Alpenklubscharte you can then descend on a mountain climb to the west side Adolf Pichler Hut (1,977 m) possible, or to the east on a mountain climb back over the Schlicker Alm (1,645 m) and to the middle station of the train (approx. 45 minutes walk from the Alm).

Via ferratas
General remarks on Via ferrata see also in Mountaineering theme article.
- Schlicker via ferrata (alpine), see the Kalkkögeln in front.
Ilmspitze via ferrata
The 1 Ilmspitze, (2,692 m, 47 ° 3 '18 "N.11 ° 19 ′ 39 ″ E, also: Innere Ilmspitze) belongs to the Serleskamm and is a strikingly bizarre dolomite summit and the landmark of the Pinnistal with a wide view from the summit all around.
The via ferrata on the Ilmspitze was built in 1986 and leads over the southwestern edge to the summit. It's pretty exposed and difficult throughout (C / D). The closest base is the Innsbruck hut.
From the hut to the entrance to the via ferrata at a small material house (2,450 m, 47 ° 3 '12 "N.11 ° 19 ′ 34 ″ E) it's a good 30 minutes. The via ferrata then leads steeply, the first 100 mH are almost completely vertical, and in places extremely exposed over rock towers, slabs and notches directly to the summit. The hallmark of the ascent route is a spectacular spreading step over a deep chimney in the upper part. Total ascent time to the summit of the Ilmspitze approx. 2.5-3 hours. The descent leads through the top third of the ascent back to the junction of a secured path over a ribbon and to the south. The further descent also leads as an insured via ferrata through rocky gorges and then through a cirque back to the start (approx. 2-2.5 hours).
Via ferrata equipment with a helmet (high risk of falling rocks in a chimney) and climbing harness with a via ferrata set are essential, via ferrata gloves and climbing shoes are very helpful. Best season: July to September. Because of the long approach from the valley, it is advisable to use the via ferrata with other tours (e.g. on the hawk) connect to.
