Best Runs in Stubai Glacier
Looking to explore Stubai Glacier's best pistes? Here's what you'll find when you're carving around Austria's highest ski area:
-
Daunferner (Blue): A super-wide, gentle cruiser that descends from the top station at 3,210m, perfect for building confidence at altitude.
-
Daunscharte (Blue): A long, mellow blue that winds down from the Schaufeljoch summit, offering stunning glacier views and consistent pitch throughout.
-
Wilde Grub'n (Red): The resort's longest red run stretches over 10km from top to bottom, delivering an epic descent through varied terrain with consistent fall-line skiing.
-
Eisjochferner (Red): A properly steep red that drops straight down the glacier face, offering excellent carving on well-groomed corduroy when conditions are right.
-
Daunferner Abfahrt (Red): A challenging red that hugs the glacier's natural contours, with enough pitch to get your thighs burning on the extended descent.
-
Fernau (Black): The resort's steepest groomed run plummets down a relentlessly steep pitch, demanding solid technique and strong legs from start to finish.
-
Wilde Grub'n Variant (Black): A mogul field variant that peels off the main Wilde Grub'n run, offering proper bump skiing when left unpisted.
-
Powder Department Zone: Stubai's dedicated freeride area features marked but unpisted terrain between the pistes, letting you safely explore off-piste without venturing into the backcountry.
