You stand at the Elferliften meeting booth as dawn paints the peaks a hard silver; the lift hums and the valley exhales below. The glide point opens like a throat of sky and the pilot checks your straps—then you run a few easy steps and the mountain lets go. The Stubai Valley stretches beneath you: green meadows, a ribbon river daring you with its swift glint, and ridgelines that push thermals up into the blue.

Conservation
