Suggestions for 1 Night Stay Near Innsbruck

Our family - my wife, 2 kids (21&24) and I will be travelling by train from Vienna to the Lauterbrunnen region of Switzerland in early June. Am looking for suggestions on where to stop on the way for the late afternoon/night. Seems like somewhere near Innsbruck would work well and break the long train trip into 2 days. We will be staying the previous 2 days in Vienna so thought a stay in a Tyrolean Village might be nice. Been looking at towns such as Telfs that are along the train route and appear to have access to good hiking. Any suggestions/advice?

We really enjoyed the Stubital alps area. It is just south of Innsbruck. We had a car, but I know there was a train that we could have taken into Innsburck. You would have to research if it would work for you, but the area has beautiful scenery and lovely towns. We stayed in Neustift im Stubital.

My only concern is whether you have the time to really enjoy this area.

Thanks for the quick response...
Neustift looks wonderful but agree our short timeline may not work.... will research.

Why not stay in Innsbruck? We spent 2 nights there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. If you are there for the late afternoon/night, I'm sure you could find enough to do just walking around the old part of the city and enjoying a nice dinner.
