STUBAI GLACIER WALK

The glacier from the cable car to Schaufeljoch

Many guidebooks, and the Stubaigletscherbahn's own leaflets, refer to the glacier walk from Eisgrat to Schaufeljoch as being suitable for walks with ordinary hiking boots and trekking poles. However, the hot summer of 2003 has melted the normally thick snow covering on the glacier and it appears that, at present, it is not reliably covered with snow. It normally takes about one hour to walk up the glacier.
