Austria, Tyrol. This scene is looking across to the mountains of the Feuerstein, the fire stone mountains said to be some of the most beautiful of all the Stubai mountains because of their hanging glaciers as they where in 1968. Sadly the hanging glaciers seen here have now gone due to global warming, all that remains is just some patches of snow.


This set of images is of the Stubai Alps in the Stubaital valley near the resort towns of Fulpmes and Neustift in the Austrian Tyrol not far from the city of Innsbruck as they where in 1968. This scene is looking across from the Wilder Freiger to the mountains of the Feuerstein, the fire stone mountains said to be some of the most beautiful of all the Stubai mountains because of their hanging glaciers. Sadly the hanging glaciers seen here have now gone due to global warming, all that remains is just some patches of snow. For more information about the Feuerstein and other mountains in the Stubai, see my guidebook, Trekking in the Stubai Alps by Allan Hartley published by Cicerone Press UK
