3,210 metres above sea level – just let your eyes wander, stop thinking and enjoy the crisp mountain air. In good weather one can see more than a hundred 3,000m-peaks from our platform.

Family excursion to the Stubai Glacier ice grotto

Delve into the cool glacier ice

On 3,00m above sea level and approx. 30 metres below the ground, the whole family cannot only expect a tour of our ice grotto with our B.Big, but a also a refreshing cooling off in pleasant summer temperatures.

Not only for the young ones: gigantic playing at and in the 6-metres-high mammoth

Our mammoth B.Giant has used the last weeks to get ready for the big hike towards the Eisgrat. On the mammoth field it is already eagerly waiting for all the young and older guests to be climbed on, slided down and played on.

Pure relaxation at fantastic mountain lakes

From summit tours to leisurely high-altitude hikes, with a mountain guide or on your own – there are sheer unlimited options for hiking on the Stubai Glacier. How about a hike around the idyllic Mutterbergersee lake amidst the impressive glacier world?
