!!!Stubaital

Stubai Valley, Tirol, 40 km long lateral valley of the  Wipptal 
Valley in the Stubai Alps, extending from Schoenberg im Stubaital 
(alt. 1,013 m) in a south-westerly direction; popular summer and 
winter resort. The River Ruetz, rising at the Noerdlicher Daunkogel 
mountain (3,075 m), drains the Stubai valley. Up to the main 
village of Fulpmes (alt. 937 m, traditional small iron industry 
and tools industry) the settlements on both sides of the gorge formed 
by the Ruetz are located on terraces; at Fulpmes the terraces converge 
to form the bottom of the valley. South of Neustift im Stubaital 
(alt. 993 m) the valley of the Ruetz is called Unterbergtal. At 
Milders (alt. 1,026 m) the Oberbergtal branches off to the west. 
The Langental valley (south of Ranalt, 1,303 m) is another 
lateral valley. Other villages in the Stubai valley: Kroessbach (alt. 
1,101 m), Neder (alt. 970 m), Kampl (alt. 978 m), 
Medraz (alt. 922 m), Telfes im Stubai (alt. 987 m) and 
Mieders (alt. 953 m). The valley of the river Ruetz is accessible 
up to the Mutterbergalm mountain via the "Stubaier 
Gletscherstrasse" mountain road; the Stubai Valley railway runs 
from Innsbruck along the edge of the Wipptal valley to Fulpmes in the 
Stubai valley; a run-of-river power station (16 MW) is operated 
near Fulpmes.
