The
Stubai Alps (German:
Stubaier Alpen, pronounced [ˈʃtuːbaɪɐ ˈalpn̩]) is a mountain range in the Central Eastern Alps of Europe. It derives its name from the
Stubaital 
valley to its east and is located southwest of
Innsbruck 
, Austria. Several peaks form the border between Austria and Italy. The range is bounded by the Inn River valley to the north; the Sill River valley (
Wipptal) and the Brenner Pass to the east (separating it from the Zillertal Alps); the Ötztal and
Timmelsjoch 
to the west (separating it from the Ötztal Alps), and to the south by tributaries of the Passer River and Eisack.
Geography
Important parts of the Stubai Alps show signs of glaciation. The northern part around the Sellrain valley and the
Kühtai 
is now only lightly glaciated and a popular ski touring destination (Zischgeles,
Lampsenspitze 
,
Pirchkogel 
,
Sulzkogel 
).
