The ELVA isn’t an apartment hotel that tries to steal the spotlight—it creates space. Space for individuality, for retreat, and for unforgettable outdoor adventures. From the moment you step inside, you can feel it: this is a place where you can truly relax. A laid-back arrival, met with a warm, genuine smile.

Minimalist yet full of depth. Modern, yet rooted in tradition. The architecture never feels cold—despite its stripped-back focus on essentials. The interior masterfully creates a warm, cozy atmosphere while allowing the stunning mountain views to take center stage.

At the heart of it all are the two hosts, Conny and David Steixner, along with their team. Always ready with a kind word, happy to offer advice about the hotel or share their insider tips about the valley. Two hosts who run the ELVA with passion, proudly breathing life into this brand-new gem.

The apartments at ELVA Stubai are as unique as their guests. Perfectly equipped, thoughtfully designed—using natural materials, clean lines, and an eye for comfort. If you wish, you can open the balcony door in the morning, let in the fresh mountain air, and start your day with coffee brewed in your own kitchen.

The larger apartments boast spacious living areas, stylish kitchenettes, and elegant bathrooms—and some even come with a private sauna or a panoramic bathtub. Everything here is designed for ease, for freedom, rather than rigid convention. Whether you’re retreating for a romantic getaway or sharing time with family or friends, everyone will find their perfect balance of privacy.

And the best part? The kitchen remains an option, not a requirement. Today, whip up a quick meal with a view of the valley; tomorrow, enjoy a dinner at the in-house restaurant—the choice is entirely yours.

After a day in the mountains, though, the Sky Spa beckons. Perched above the rooftops of Neustift, this stylish sanctuary is exclusively for adults. Here, you can bask in the soothing heat of the sauna or steam bath, or unwind in cozy relaxation areas. A place where everything slows down—except the view, which stretches endlessly over the Stubai Valley.

Meanwhile, outside, the 20-meter-long infinity pool awaits in the garden, complete with bubbling loungers and massage jets. Those swimming laps here can watch the colorful paragliders glide from the Elfer mountain, making their way to the landing spot below.

Mornings at zwoelva start with a lovingly prepared breakfast buffet, showcasing regional delights and fresh ingredients sourced from the surrounding area. Think Tyrolean cheeses, crisp breads, delicious spreads, and aromatic coffee—all inviting you to take your time and savor every bite, without a hint of rush, at your own pace.

If you enjoy the freedom of choice when it comes to dining, the culinary concept at the ELVA apartment hotel will be a real treat. You can cook for yourself in your own kitchen—or simply unwind and indulge in the à la carte menu at zwoelva, where you’ll be treated to local specialties. Fresh, authentic, with a fine attention to seasonal flavors.

The ELVA bar also invites you to linger into the evening, offering creative drinks on the terrace bathed in warm light, until the sun dips behind the mountains. Here, enjoyment isn’t an obligation, but an invitation—making it all the more delightful.

The Stubai Valley lies just outside the door of the ELVA apartment hotel—and with it, an abundance of opportunities: hiking trails, bike tracks, ski slopes, and natural wonders at every altitude.

From the hotel, you can set off on an e-bike tour to the picturesque Pinnistal—pedaling along the rushing mountain stream, through shady forests, and stopping for a cozy break at the Pinnis or Karalm mountain huts.

For those seeking higher altitudes, a trip to the Stubai Glacier offers alpine hiking paths and the breathtaking Top of Tyrol panoramic platform at 3,210 meters, providing a 360° view. The Glacier Trail is particularly exciting and diverse, starting from the Eisgrat mountain station and leading past impressive glacier scrapes and moraine fields of the Eisjoch Ferner. The route descends steadily, first over rock crisscrossed with water streams, and later over a lush plateau, before following a comfortable path to the Fernau middle station. Don’t forget to stop by the dramatic Grawa Waterfall on your return—or, if you're up for it, take a hike up to Sulzenaualm the next day along the waterfall’s path.

Families will find a paradise for little explorers at Schlick 2000, with a treetop trail, disc path, and slide path. Nearby, the Elfer mountain offers scenic hikes with spectacular views over the valley, and you can watch paragliders take off from the mountain for an unforgettable sight.

Back at the ELVA, you’ll find yoga, a fitness area, and a small, specialized bouldering wall with a Kilter-Board feature for those looking to stay active. And if you prefer simply being outside, let the light, mountains, and fresh air carry you away.
