Welcome to the enchanting 'Heart of the Alps', where the Tyrol region unfolds its magic like a storybook tale. Imagine a mountain landscape that beckons to outdoor enthusiasts, a place where the crisp alpine air mingles with the warmth of unmatched hospitality. Here, in villages like Neustift im Stubaital, encased by pine forested slopes, nature lovers find their haven. The village, one of the Tyrol's most picturesque, offers exceptional walking trails and a fantastic network of public transport, ensuring easy-going walks without compromising on breathtaking views.
Your adventure includes a visit to the majestic Stubai Glacier, fondly called the 'Top of Tyrol' at 3,210m. From here, gaze upon commanding views of the Italian Dolomites and beyond, a sight that captures the essence of Alpine grandeur. With the included 'Stubai Super Card', embark on explorations-whether it's wandering the historic streets of Innsbruck with its Gothic and Baroque architecture or savouring local delights.
Speaking of delights, Tyrolean cuisine is a treat for the senses. Indulge in Buchteln, soft buns filled with sweet jams or curds, embodying the heartiness of Austrian baking. Try Fiakergulasch, a savoury delight made of diced beef in a rich sauce, a culinary adventure that tantalises taste buds. Finish your day with a sip of traditional Marillenschnaps, a fruit brandy distilled from apricots, a delightful endnote to your culinary journey.
Your stay is a blend of comfort and tranquillity. Nestled amidst nature, your 4* hotel in Neustift offers a retreat just minutes away from the village centre. Explore the Stubai Alps with ease, thanks to nearby bus stops and cable car stations. After your daily walk, indulge in the hotel's panoramic pool, outdoor jacuzzi, and natural bathing pond. Rejuvenate in the sauna and relish delectable Tyrolean cuisine at the exceptional hotel restaurant.
Tyrol, with its turquoise lakes, charming villages, and majestic mountains, encapsulates the essence of Alpine Austria. It's a tapestry of experiences where each moment is a contented pause, embraced by the melody of belled cows dotting the countryside. Discover the Tyrol, where enchantment meets adventure, and every day is a delightful journey in the heart of the Alps.
Arrive in the picture-postcard, alpine village of Neustift im Stubaital. Here, you'll spend your week in an exceptional 4* nature resort.
Begin your day with a cable car up to Elfer Mountain where you’ll find the biggest sundial sculpture of the European Alps. Encircled by a two-metre-wide footbridge, this is a spectacular viewing platform where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Stubai Valley. From here, the trail leads to Autenalm farm where you’ll have the option to detour to Zindegg summit – the views are worth the climb! Continue with wonderful scenes of the imposing Elfer massif as you descend to Pinnistal before returning to Elfer Mountain.
This gentle walk begins in Neustift and leads to Kartnall where in the 13th century, farmers deemed this a profitable 'quarter' of land. To this day, the cows, sheep, and goats keep the family farms alive with their milk producing butter, grey cheese, and curd cheese. With benches dotted along the trail, there's plenty of places to enjoy the valley views and mountains above. Return to Neustift following the Ruetz river.
Take the bus from Neustift to Mutterbergalm (30mins), then the cable car to Eisgrat for your visit to Stubai Glacier. Fondly known as the ‘Top of Tyrol’ at 3,210m, Stubai Glacier is well worth a visit with its commanding views of the Italian Dolomites and beyond. During summer, you can also visit an incredible ice grotto, giving you a unique insight into the history of this 1000-year-old glacier. Hike across the glacier, stopping at Austria’s highest mountain restaurant with breath-taking mountain views ever present. The summit platform protrudes nine metres beyond the cliff edge, regarded as one of the most beautiful viewing platforms in the world.
Beginning at Elfer Mountain cable car station, you’ll steadily climb to Elferhutte Restaurant with spectacular views over to Elferspitze. On one side of the mountain, the rugged and bright rock limestone towers on the Serles ridge offer a unique contrast to the prehistoric rock of the Stubai mountains on the other side. Fantastic panoramic views accompany you past mountain huts and small eateries before your final descent into Neustift.
Take a cable car from Neustift up to Elferhutte before embarking on this fantastic walk. Every day at 11am, the sun lights up the back of Elferspitze (translates as “Eleven Peak”), shining in its spotlight from Neustift. Thereafter, you must walk up the Elfer to capture all its beauty. With impressive rocky towers and spikes, these blunt Dolomite rocks are certainly reminiscent of the Dolomites as they stand proud commanding all the attention. The summit cross at the eastern Elfer tower stands at 2,499m whereas the highest point, known as Elferkofel, sits humbly at 2,505m.
Start at the Schlick 2000 cable car station with a lovely restaurant and viewing platform. This gentle walk takes you along forest trails to Schlickerlalm Hutte, surrounded by fine panoramas. Continue to the beautiful Panoramasee Lake embedded in fantastic alpine scenery. This is a great spot to relax on the loungers before returning to the cable car station.
Choose another excursion from our variety of walks before leaving Neustift and returning home. Alternatively, enjoy a relaxing morning in your delightful hotel before heading to the airport.

Everyone who goes on a Headwater holiday will be emailed a link to our post-holiday questionnaire where they can give us an honest assessment of all aspects of their holiday - everything from how quickly we answer the phone to how clean the hotels were - plus an overall rating and comments about their holiday.
Any feedback collected is posted to our website, so that people can make an informed decision based on past experiences before heading off on holiday. We don’t edit the reviews, the only thing we do is proofread them and alter any typos, where necessary, to ensure they are easy to read for everyone. All reviews will be published (except in certain extreme circumstances), and a member of the Headwater team will respond to any constructive criticisms/comments under the reviews, at their discretion. So, for the real tales, twists and turns of our holidays, look no further than the reviews from our previous travellers.
Really impressed with Headwater. Great holiday in Austria and discovered a new holiday destination that we would return to. Thank you.
Had the pleasure of dealing with very friendly and informative members of the Headwater team who were always able
to offer expert advice and answer queries immediately .
It was a great holiday, the app was useful but the itinerary was too difficult for us. The general info was ok. We used the trail information at the resorts and used their leaflets instead as it suggested a choice of trails and the grading instead of one trail only. We loved the resort and the hotel but not the room. Would recommend the area to friends.
An outstanding hotel in a great setting, with easy access to the mountains and the Stubai Valley
