Neustift Attractions

Neustift (993m/3,258ft), the tourist center of the Stubai valley, is popular as a health and winter sports resort and as a base for walks and climbs. The handsome parish church, rebuilt in 1768-74, has some fine ceiling paintings; in the churchyard will be found the grave of Franz Senn (1831-84), one of the founders of the Austrian Alpine Club. There is a ski training school in the town.
