My Tirol: Stubai alpine valley


(Spring 2018.)

After the morning to and from Scharnitz, I returned to Innsbruck, and immediately headed south into the Stubai valley for the afternoon and early-evening. I had enough time to make a short walk in each of the towns Neustift and Fulpmes, but truth told, I would’ve preferred a minimum of one full day to appreciate more fully the spring-summer rhythms in the river valley and ascend the cable cars up both Kreuzjoch and Elfer, plus another day to the very end of the Stubai valley to Mutterbergalm, and up Schaufelspitze for views of the Stubaier Gletscher (Stubai Glacier) at “the top of Tirol.”

Fotoeins Friday in the Alps: Neustift im Stubaital

You can’t escape the mountains in Austria’s Tirol: not that I would, because why would anyone want to miss out on any of this natural beauty. An easy trip by bus or tram (Stubaitalbahn STB) from Innsbruck takes visitors into various towns in the Stubai valley including Neustift im Stubaital. Reaching deeper into the valley gets you to Mutterbergalm and up into the Alps near the Austro-Italian frontier. Spring activities in the area include hiking, climbing, and paragliding. This view faces southeast into town with the Catholic parish church (Pfarre Neustift at lower-centre); in the background at left-centre and upper-right are Kesselspitze (2720 metres) and Elferhütte (2080 metres), respectively.

I made the photo above on 12 May 2018 with a Canon 6D mark 1 and the following settings: 1/400-sec, f/16, ISO1000, and 24mm focal length. This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-glY.

Fotoeins Friday: Paragliders over Neustift in Stubaital

With my base established in Innsbruck, I already spent the morning exploring a little bit of Scharnitz at the Austria-German border. I’m on the 590 bus from Innsbruck to Neustift im Stubaital, and I catch sight of paragliders in the foreground, as well as the dot-silhouettes of several others riding the thermals high up in the distance. Late-spring and summer provides a wealth of ground-, alpine- and aerial-based activities in the Stubaital (Stubai valley).

I made the picture above on 12 May 2018 with a Fujifilm X70 and the following settings: 1/250-sec, f/16, ISO1000, and 18.5mm focal length (28mm full-frame equivalent). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins.com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-cXl.
