The Stubai Hohenweg or Stubai highroute is a high-level footpath in Tyrol, Austria. It is approximately 80 km long, and a total ascent / descent of over 6,000 m.[1] The trail can be completed in 8 or 9 days. It is designed to be a circular route around the Stubai valley. The trail starts in Neustift, but can be started from any hut on the trail, for example Fulpmes.[2]

The path is by alpine and high alpine terrain, between 2000 and 3000 m. Some sections are secured by cable, but the route avoids glaciers.[3]

The difficulty level of the trail is "black", namely the hiker would encounter narrow, steep and exposed paths. For this reason, good physical fitness, freedom from vertigo and surefootedness are required.[1]
