BEFORE TOURISM

Before the resort map

The linked local overview does not preserve a clear account of Stubai Glacier before modern tourism.

This edition leaves that part of the timeline open rather than mistaking the first surviving sporting reference for the beginning of the place.

ACCESS CHANGES

THE LIVING MAP

The mapped place

Stubai Glacier is recorded at 47.091° N, 11.313° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,210 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
