Stubai Valley is already a jewel, but Schlick 2000 is the facet that catches the light. It’s not just a ski resort reinvented for summer — it’s a layered alpine experience where viewpoints, trails, lakes, and family adventures stack together like chapters in a story. What begins as a cable car ride becomes a full day of discovery, each stop revealing something unexpected, something authentic, something unforgettable.
🚡 The Lift to the Sky
Your journey begins in Fulpmes, where the Schlick 2000 cable car rises from the valley floor. In minutes, you’re lifted to Kreuzjoch Summit Station at 2,136m. Here, the air is crisp, the horizon endless. Bathrooms, trailheads, and paragliders remind you this is both a hub and a launchpad. Peaks tower above 8,000 feet, serrated and commanding, forming the Stubai massif. It’s a stage set for adventure, and you’re stepping into the first act.
🌄 Stubaiblick Platform — A View Beyond Views
A short detour along the Panorama Trail leads to Stubaiblick. At first, you expect “just another viewpoint.” But the structure itself is striking — angular, modern, framing the valley like a lens. The Stubai Seven Summits rise in proud formation, each peak paired with legends etched into panels. Along the way, benches designed by artists transform rest stops into playful surprises. Children hop from one to the next, turning the walk into a game. The view is 360°, the feeling infinite. This is not a viewpoint; it’s a revelation.
🌼 The Nature Trail — Easy Yet Extraordinary
Back at Kreuzjoch, the Panorama Nature Trail begins its gentle descent. Gravel paths wind through alpine meadows, wildflowers nodding in the breeze. Families push strollers, hikers stride with poles, and everyone is rewarded equally with sweeping views. Informational panels tell stories of alpine flora and fauna, while benches — some cheekily marked “reserved for children” — invite picnics with summits as your backdrop. This trail proves that ease does not diminish grandeur.
🐄 Schlickeralm — Alpine Life in Motion
After 1.5–2 hours, Schlickeralm appears. A mountain hotel, a playground, cows grazing with bells that soundtrack the valley. Just beyond, a zip‑line for kids sends laughter echoing across the slopes. The trail splits here: straight ahead lies the gravel road, but turn right and you enter Abendweide, the “Path of the Senses.” It’s a short detour, but one that transforms hiking into discovery, especially for families eager to learn through play.
💧 Panorama Lake — Mirror of the Peaks
Further down, Panoramasee glimmers like a mirror. A quick loop around its shore reveals reflections so sharp they feel painted. The lake is small, but its impact is immense — a pause, a stillness, a chance to see the mountains doubled in water. It’s the kind of place where you linger longer than planned, watching light shift across the surface.
🌲 Scheibenweg — Playful Descent
From the lake, the trail leads downhill through forest. This is Scheibenweg, where children roll wooden disks borrowed from the ticket office. Simple, ingenious, and endlessly fun, it transforms descent into play. The hike to Froneben Middle Station takes another 1–1.5 hours, depending on how often you stop to laugh, rest, or watch the light filter through the trees.
🪵 Bruggeralm & Tree House Trail — The Final Chapter
At Froneben, Bruggeralm offers a pause — a hut, a meal, a moment to breathe. But if energy remains, the Stubai Tree House Trail beckons. Wooden playgrounds, imaginative structures, and a path winding toward Vergör. It adds two hours, but for children, it’s pure alpine magic. The choice is yours: cable car down, or continue the adventure all the way to Fulpmes.
🌞 A Day Etched in Memory
Our walk — 5.2 miles, 2,500 feet of descent, sunshine overhead — was more than a hike. It was a sequence of surprises: a viewpoint that defied expectations, trails that balanced ease with grandeur, activities that kept children enchanted, and scenery that never let go. Storms had closed part of the route, but even the detour through woodland felt like discovery. By the time we returned to Fulpmes, Schlick 2000 had revealed itself as a Tyrolean gem — authentic, generous, unforgettable.

Whether you’re chasing summits, strolling with kids, or simply listening to cowbells in the meadows, this corner of Stubai Valley proves that the unexpected often becomes the most memorable.
