Oberbergtal
The Oberbergtal is the largest tributary valley of the Stubaital, branching north above Milders and curving south-west to the road-head at OberIss. 2 hours up the path is the Franz Senn Hut. Location The Oberbergtal joins the main valley from the left at Milders (1,026 m, Neustift im Stubaital). The head of the valley is formed by the glaciated Alpeiner Berge (Schrankogel 3,497 m, Ruderhofspitze 3,474 m, Östliche 3,416 m and Westliche Seespitze 3,355 m), which surround the Alpeiner Ferner and several side glaciers. Heading down he valley the line of mountains on the right descends gradually to the Brennerspitze (2,877 m) and on the left runs over the Hohe Villerspitze The Hohe Villerspitze is a mountain, , in the Southeastern Sellrain Mountains (''Südöstlichen Sellrainer Bergen''), a sub-group of the northern Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The mountain has three tops that, together, form an isola ... (3,087 m) to the Hoher Burgstall (2,611 m). {{coord, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Franz Senn Hut
The Franz Senn Hut (german: Franz-Senn-Hütte) is a large and very popular Category I alpine hut in the Stubai Alps owned by the Austrian Alpine Club (''Österreichischer Alpenverein'').

Stubaital
The Stubaital is an alpine valley in Tyrol, Austria. It is the central valley of the Stubai Alps. The river Ruetz flows through the valley. This 35-km long valley runs in northeastern direction from the main chain of the Alps to Schönberg im Stubaital, near Innsbruck. Below Fulpmes, the villages lie on terraces above the Ruetz on either side of the river. South of Neustift im Stubaital, the largest side valley Oberbergtal joins from the west. The ÖBB operates a 16- MW hydroelectric power plant in Fulpmes. The following five municipalities lie in the valley: Schönberg im Stubaital, Mieders, Telfes, Fulpmes and Neustift im Stubaital. Public transportation from Innsbruck into the valley is available via the Stubaital bus route or the Stubai Valley Railway, which runs from Innsbruck to Fulpmes. At the end of the Stubaital valley the Stubai Glacier Stubai may mean: * Stubai Alps, (German: Stubaier Alpen), a mountain range in the Central Eastern Alps of Europe * Stubaital, the cen ...

Neustift Im Stubaital
Neustift im Stubaital is a municipality in the district Innsbruck-Land in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is the third largest municipality of Tyrol in area. It is a major tourist centre, with more than 1 million overnight stays per year. Geography Neustift is located 25 kilometres (15 miles) south of Innsbruck in the Stubaital or Stubai Valley. This broad valley is one of the most scenic in Tyrol. At the entrance to the valley stand massive limestone formations. Around the upper valley, peaks of gneiss and granite rise above 3,000 metres (about 10,000 feet) to areas of permanent ice. Five glaciers covering form a large glacier ski area, the Stubai Glacier.

Ruderhofspitze
At the Ruderhofspitze is the fourth highest mountain in the Stubai Alps in Austria. It is part of the Alpein Mountains (''Alpeiner Berge'') and lies in the Austrian state of Tyrol (state), Tyrol. As a result of its topographic isolation and good all-round views it is one of the most visited mountains in the Stubai. An almost two-kilometre-long arête, the ''Grawawand'', runs away from the summit to the east. Less prominent ridges run south and northwestwards from the Ruderhofspitze. The peak was first ascended on 30 August 1864 by Karl Baedeker (the son of Karl Baedeker), Anton von Ruthner and mountain guides Pankraz Gleinser and Alois Tanzer. Location and surrounding area The Ruderhofspitze lies a good six kilometres as the crow flies west of ''Ranalt'' in the Stubai valley and about ten kilometres east of Gries im Sulztal, Gries, a village in the municipality of Längenfeld in the Sulztal (Stubai Alps), Sulztal valley. The mountain is surrounded by glaciers. To the southeast, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Schrankogel
The Schrankogel, 3497 m (called the ''Schrankogl'' on the AV map) is the second highest mountain in the Stubai Alps. The northeast side of the Schrankogel is steep and snowy; from all other sides the Schrankogel has a rocky character.

Östliche Seespitze
The Östliche Seespitze is a mountain, , in the Stubai Alps in Austria. It belongs to the Alpeiner Mountains (''Alpeiner Berge'') and is their second highest peak after the Ruderhofspitze. In addition, it is the highest point in the chain that runs northeast from the Westliche Seespitze, which separates the Falbesontal valley in the southeast from the Alpeiner Valley to the northwest. The ''Alpeiner Kräulferner'', a glacier on its north flank, gives the Östlichen Seespitze a much wilder appearance than from the south. Bases and ascents The easiest ascents up the Östliche Seespitze run over glaciers and require the right equipment and experience. The normal route from the Neue Regensburger Hut takes about four hours to reach the summit. This route runs initially westwards over the ''Hochmoosferner'' glacier and then up the southwest flank to the summit, requiring block climbing of moderate difficulty (UIAA grade I). More difficult and one hour longer is the ascent from t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glacier
A glacier (; ) is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight. A glacier forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its Ablation#Glaciology, ablation over many years, often Century, centuries. It acquires distinguishing features, such as Crevasse, crevasses and Serac, seracs, as it slowly flows and deforms under stresses induced by its weight. As it moves, it abrades rock and debris from its substrate to create landforms such as cirques, moraines, or fjords. Although a glacier may flow into a body of water, it forms only on land and is distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water. On Earth, 99% of glacial ice is contained within vast ice sheets (also known as "continental glaciers") in the polar regions, but glaciers may be found in mountain ranges on every continent other than the Australian mainland, including Oceania's high-latitude oceanic island countries such as New Zealand.
