The Stubai Valley Railway - Stubaitalbahn, in the native tongue - was opened in 1904 and has grown in passenger numbers ever since, no doubt due to the beautiful scenery it enjoys on its one hour trip between Innsbruck and Fulpmes. From Innsbruck, the narrow-gauge Stubaitalbahnrom winds up through gentle meadows, opening up views of the city below. After passing sleepy villages, the route plunges into a landscape of forests and alpine meadows, frosted or laden with snow in winter, before winding its way down to the peaceful valley town of Fulpmes. Along the journey, the train passes many spectacular sights including the Mutters and Kreither viaduct.
