At an altitude of 3,210 metres, the Top of Tyrol summit platform is a must-visit for the views – you can see across the Stubai Alps and even as far as the Dolomites on a clear day. The view is just as great from the Schaufeljoch chapel which looks over the Stubai Glacier from its position on the mountain ridge. Explore high-altitude hiking routes, walk to a hut for a delicious lunch or hike around the idyllic Mutterbergersee lake.

There's also a play area to keep children entertained.

The Stubai Valley has a lot to offer bikers, with around 240 kilometres of trails weaving through the area, and it’s not just routes for extreme mountain bikers, either. There’s plenty of trails to suit pleasure cyclists and families, so hop on a bike and explore on two wheels. Many of the mountain huts are accessible by bike, and there’s several rental places – rent an e-bike to make the uphill a bit easier.

Innsbruck is the capital of the Tyrol region, and is well worth a visit – especially as your transport there is free thanks to the Stubai Supercard.

Visit the medieval old town - famous for the Golden Roof - or the Ambras Castle, which was the first museum in the world and opened over 450 years ago. Innsbruck hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, and you can visit the ski jump and enjoy the stunning view from the top. The best views of the city can be seen from the top of Nordkette, 1,700 metres above the city, accessed by the architecturally renowned Hungerbergbahn and then the Hafelekar cable car, or take a trip to the top of the Olympic ski jump on the south side of the city.

For art and culture lovers, the Hofkirche offers an unexpected mix between church and medieval art museum, and is home to the cenotaph of the Emperor Maximillian the First. Just outside the city, in Wattens, Swarovski Crystal World is a must-see for lovers of sparkles, with interesting exhibits, beautiful gardens and play zones for children.

The capital city of the Tyrol region has as much for the younger generation as it does for adults. The Audioversum is a science centre where you can take an interactive journey through the human senses. Or, head to Tirol Magic Land, just outside the city, where there’s the famous “upside-down-house” and Dinoland, plus playgrounds to run off excess energy.

The summer toboggan is a fast-paced activity that will delight young and old. The track is 2.8 kilometres long and has a height difference of 640 metres from start to finish meaning you can reach top speeds of around 42 kilometres an hour as you zoom down the mountain.

This play area is a must for families who love adventures in nature. Parents can relax and enjoy the picturesque setting while children paddle, build little dams or experiment with the flow of the water. There's multiple exciting play stations too, like a low ropes course, swings and climbing frames, or the raft and flying fox that cross the lake - plenty to keep everyone entertained.
