East Tyrol and in particular the Villgratental are a paradise for skiers, ski tourers, hikers and sportsmen of all kinds.
The Stiendlalm is located directly in the ski area Hochpustertal. You can directly strap on your skis in front of the hut and start skiing! The nearest chairlift is about 150 meters away. In summer there are various hiking and mountain biking routes in the area. In addition, the East Tyrolean and South Tyrolean Dolomites invite you to wonderful climbing tours, the Drava and Isel rivers offer opportunities for kayaking and rafting, and nearby Lienz invites you to stroll through the city and go shopping.
