Difficulty ratings: easy
Route length: 10.2 km
Duration: 3:20 h

What must an ideal fall walk have? Sunshine! Benches to rest on! Colorful trees! Views of snowy mountains! Our circular tour across the Telfer meadows and the Stockerhof has it all.

Tour character

Easy, child- and age-friendly hike with few meters in altitude on wide paths. With the Habicht and the Serles, the view falls continuously on two Tyrolean character mountains, numerous benches along the way invite you to soak up the sun. The Stockerhof (open until the end of September) should be included in the tour. Especially in late autumn, long hours of sunshine and the golden-yellow larch forest are still tempting here. The Telfer Wiesen can be easily and impressively reached from Innsbruck by public transport on the Stubaitalbahn.

Description

Telfes in Stubai valley was being populated as early as 1.700 B.C. Discoveries from the Early Bronze Age found not far away from this place in the field of “Gallhof“ led to that conclusion. Main reasons for the early population are likely to be the fertile grounds of the “Telfer Wiesen”.
The name “Telfes” is also an indication of that. The name comes from the Indo-Germanic “tellevo”, which means as much as “useful land”. Due to the location and the length of insolation, the grass grows especially well here.
Up to this day the “Telfer Wiesen” are used exclusively agriculturally. They belong to the most beautiful larch fields of Tyrol. The rich gentian blow in the spring is very impressive.
