Stubai Yoga also offers sunrise yoga events on these dates.<\/p>\r\n Between 16 July and 20 August<\/strong>, the Elferbahnen<\/strong> in Neustift offer extra-long gondola fun every Tuesday. On six evenings, the sunset rides<\/strong> are continuously offered between 08.30am and 09.30pm. Paragliders can thus lift off a few times more, downhill bikers can make a few more daring descents and connoisseurs can treat themselves to a great sundowner in the restaurants on the Elfer Mountain.<\/p>\r\n Stubai Glacier<\/strong> as well takes full advantage of the long summer days and invites you to an evening ride with barbecue<\/strong> on 20 August<\/strong>. In addition to the Eisgratbahn, the ice grotto and Eisgrat Restaurant also offer extra-long opening hours that day. On the TOP OF TYROL summit platform, a mountain professional provides insight into the history of glaciers. The adventure day is finally rounded off by a musical dinner accompanied by the Stubaier Freitagsmusig on 2,900 metres and a night gondola ride.<\/p>\r\n In the golden season of autumn, the culinary treats finally reach their pinnacle. The Stubai Autumn Highlights<\/strong>, from 14 <\/strong>to 22 September<\/strong>, will alternatingly offer traditional cattle drives and enjoyable events at various locations for more than a week.

The starts points in the Olympic city of Innsbruck and Neustift and the finish at 3,150 metres in the Kingdom of Snow on the Stubai Glacier remain unchanged. After a track update, the Ultra Run has now become longer, harder, more scenic and more extensive though. The offer was extended by a fourth distance, the STUBAI 19K, and routes were renamed. Next to the STUBAI ULTRATRAIL, the STUBAI 35K (former Basictrail), the STUBAI 19K (NEW!) and the STUBAI 8K (former Glaciertrail) are now available. In addition to that, there is a highly interesting change in routing, which promises even more excitement than before.<\/p>\r\n
