Volderau – Accommodation for Winter Trails and Cross-Country Skiing
Accommodation in Volderau
If you are looking for accommodation in Volderau for a winter stay, the local trails and valley cross-country ski trail provide clear guidance. The Unterberg Loop Falbeson can be started from Volderau, while the Neustift–Doadler Alm valley trail runs through Volderau to Falbeson. Regional buses and a weekday express service from Innsbruck are also described for getting there.
Winter trails with different time requirements
The Unterberg Loop Falbeson is a winter circular route 9.6 km long, taking around three hours to walk and involving 120 m of elevation gain. This information helps you fit the loop into your daily plans. If you are looking for a route with a different time requirement, consider Winter Hiking Trail 5: the Unterberg Loop Falbeson leads from Volderau on a gentle ascent to Klaus Ă„uele near Falbeson in around 45 minutes.
Another connection is via the walking path to Klaus Ă„uele Park. It leads through Gasteig and Volderau directly to the park. This allows you to consider different destinations and trail sections separately when planning your trip, without combining the routes into a single tour.
Cross-country skiing and route orientation
The Neustift–Doadler Alm valley trail is relevant for cross-country skiing. It is 13.7 km long and can be used both for skating and classic cross-country skiing. The trail runs through Volderau and continues to Falbeson. If you are travelling with different interests, you can choose your accommodation based on whether winter hiking or cross-country skiing is to be the main focus of your stay.
Volderau is also a named reference point for navigating other routes. The Stubai Cycle Route 19 is marked green throughout; its map lists Volderau as one of the places shown along the route. The STUBAI K31 initially runs along the valley floor beyond Volderau and then climbs to Bacherwandalm at 1,620 m.
Getting to Volderau
During the off-season, regional buses run to Volderau every 15 minutes. In addition, the express service on route 591X runs on weekday afternoons from Innsbruck Central Station towards Volderau. Especially if you are travelling without your own vehicle, you should check the exact timetable for your travel date.
Local and historical orientation
The local history includes the Geieralm at Volderau 6. It is the residential building of a former Paarhof farmstead. If, in addition to the winter trails, you are also interested in traditional settlement and architectural history, you can include this place in your personal travel plans.
Choose accommodation based on your travel plans
Whether you are travelling with children, as a couple or in a group with different interests, you can first determine which information is most important to you: the 9.6 km circular route with around three hours of walking, the gentle ascent to Klaus Ă„uele, the 13.7 km valley trail or the transport connections. This allows you to compare accommodation in Volderau based on your actual daily itinerary. For a stay focused on cross-country skiing, the distinction between skating and classic skiing is particularly important; for winter hikers, trail length, walking time and elevation gain provide better guidance.
To compare other destinations, you can also include Mils Bei Hall, MĂĽhltal, Wildermieming, Sellrain, Hatting, Reith Bei Seefeld, Schmirn and Aldrans in your comparison.
