Trip Details and Small Print - Stubai Peaks Traverse
Can I do it?
Up to 8 hrs / day of strenuous trekking with passages of roped glacier travel and some easy scrambling, at times secured with cables to hold onto. The trek can be considered a bit less demanding than our Haute Route Trek in terms of cardio-vascular endurance but has some short passages, that are a bit more technical. Our Via Ferrata Trek "Best around Cortina" requires less endurance but more technical "scrambling". The use of crampons might sometimes be required (Introduction and training session during the trek!)

How to get there:
Neustift is located 30 min north of Innsbruck and 1.45 hrs north of Munich by car. If you arrive by air to Munich, we gladly arrange your airport shuttle directly to our hotel in Neustift for an additional cost of Euro 75. From Innsbruck, public buses leave every hour (even during the night) from the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) to Neustift. The bus takes about 50 min, cost are about 6 Euros and it stops right in front of our hotel.
