Fulpmes Ski Resort

Many of the villages in the Stubai valley show evidence of a life outside tourism, with small-scale engineering and industrial concerns settled along the floor of the valley entrance – Fulpmes has a reputation both for its ironworks and for toolmaking (the well-known “Stubai” brand of tools is based here) and the coat of arms of the village bears an anvil.

Of course, being in the mountains, agriculture is also an important source of income and tourism in both summer and winter grew rapidly in the previous century.

Fulpmes is situated nearer the exit of the Stubai valley than Neustift, and has two nearby villages: Mieders with its own small ski area and Telfes which is also on the tram line from Innsbruck.

The ski area directly above Fulpmes is the Schlick 2000 area. The Schlick page also covers (briefly) the small ski areas of the Elfer lift above Neustift and the Serles lift above Mieders.

The Stubai valley is easy to reach from most parts of Europe. Innsbruck airport is close at hand for air travellers and the south-east-west motorway junction at Innsbruck makes the valley easily accessible by road.
