Mieder is a small village at the entrance to the Stubai Valley. This is about 20 minutes south of Innsbruck.

I believe only a bus will take you to the base station of the lift. ( 15 minutes or more ? ) You will find the lift expensive - about 25 euros I think. It is best to go only on days with good weather.

Drees for cold weather at the top as temperatures can be 10-20 grad cooler than in the valley.

I do not remember the name of the main restaurant but these cater to the skiers.

Mostly self service buffet- frankfurters, fries, schnitzel, soup drinks- some other items relatively expensive as all the food comes upon the lift also.

You may find that the town of Neustift is closer to the glacier with more things to do and activities.

I note that you plan other stays near by in this area. Any special reason ? The towns would offer many of the same activities. You could save travel time by limiting your stay to one town unless a special reason makes you change.

thanks to VERTICAL and DOUGB328 so much.

at first, I want to see glacier. but now I may be change my mind. I think the lift is so expensive. and nothing there unless the white snow. Thus I may continued stay in innsbruck for travel to Kuftstien fort for see the Rediel glass maker. Could you tell me how to go to Kuftstien fortress? and to see the glass maker is charged? thanks again.
