Discover Telfes im Stubai: Nature, Trails and History

Telfes im Stubai combines scenic trails, nature experiences, living local history and opportunities for more relaxed days on holiday. Those looking for a holiday apartment for a varied trip can choose between hiking, wellness, culture and nature observation as different focal points. The Telfer Wiesen in particular give the village a distinctive character: they are known as a mountain tour, a natural attraction and a destination for various activities.

The Telfer Wiesen as a Hiking Destination

The “Telfer Wiesen” mountain tour is an easy circular route covering 10.3 km with a duration of 3:06 hours. This means the route can be taken into account specifically when planning your day. The “Telfer Wiesen” natural attraction also has a large reclining platform and shade-providing trees that invite visitors to linger. From Innsbruck, the Telfer Wiesen can be reached conveniently and through impressive scenery by the Stubaitalbahn.

If you prefer an uphill route, the “Telfer Berg” trail leads through Telfes to the Telfer Wiesen meadows. For a trip by bicycle, the “565 Telfer Berg” route is also designated for mountain bikes or e-bikes. When planning your accommodation and excursions, you can therefore distinguish whether you want to focus on an easy circular tour, an uphill route or a designated cycling trail.

Nature Observation and Special Destinations

The Telfes Birds of Prey Park has been a place of refuge for injured and sick birds of prey for over 20 years. Around 50 European birds of prey find a temporary or permanent home there. For nature enthusiasts, the park thus offers a distinctive attraction alongside the hiking trails. Another specific route indication is the cave near Gallhof: from the Kirchbrücke, it can be reached on foot downhill in around 20 minutes.

The journey itself can also be incorporated into your travel planning. The Telfes toboggan run can be reached directly from Innsbruck Central Station by the Stubaitalbahn. Alternatively, public bus route 590 runs to Fulpmes; from there, continue to Telfes on the Stubussl or ski bus. This connection is therefore a practical point of reference if you want to plan excursions without travelling by car.

Church, Local History and Rose Village

Telfes was the seat of the Stubai valley’s original parish for more than 1,000 years. The parish church of St. Pancras has its origins in the Early Middle Ages. Its entire vault was decorated with frescoes by the renowned church painter Anton Zoller from Telfs. Those interested in historic sites and sacred art will find another way to explore the history of Telfes here. The designation as Tyrol’s first rose village also contributes to its distinctive character.

Wellness as a Counterbalance

StuBay in Telfes is ideal for a more relaxed part of your trip. It is a sauna and swimming paradise covering more than 5,000 m². After an active day, you can make wellness a focus of its own without orienting your trip exclusively around hiking. When looking for a holiday apartment in Telfes im Stubai, it is therefore especially helpful to consider which combination of exercise, nature, culture and relaxation best suits your trip. You can then arrange the destinations mentioned according to your personal daily rhythm.
