The Skiers' Guide to Stubai Glacier

Amazing resort! Would highly recommend. It’s a little hidden away gem that’s not as popular as bigger resorts, but offers great glacier skiing with guaranteed snow. Various villages around the glacier offer great accomodation and choices for food & drink, neustift being the biggest / best of these. Eating out and drinking is not too pricey either. A car is recommended if you want to move around easily but buses are available that will take you to the base.

Stubaier Gletscher is my go-to resort given that I can leave my London home early and catch a flight to Innsbruck and be on the slopes just after midday. Its not huge, but the lifts are great, the pistes are well managed & he snow is always excellent. Downside is no on mountain accommodation, but Ive stayed in quite a few hotels in the valley and have enjoyed all of them. The ski bus is regular and free.

My best memories of Austria are from Stubai.
Huge terrain, great food and clean amenities.
I met a local skinning up the mountain and we became friends. I was invited to his home, met his lovely wife and was made to feel like family. Thank you Ernest.

A great option for early or late season skiing on the glacier. Free lift passes for children under 10 with a paying adult. Lots of accommodation options in the valley with good equipment rental deals in most shops.

The city of Innsbruck in close proximity for lots of non snow activities.

Friendly Austrian vibes.

Great ski resort for intermediate level of ski or snowboarder, with very long and large slopes. Very good quality of snow and lifts, but the best thing is that is was not crowded at all, making it really fast to get on the slopes.

I had an excellent expérience at Stubai. Excellente show condition, excellent viens. Love it. I wil étourneaux there soon

Perfect family and friends experience, possible to cater for all levels of experience in ski group without compromising the holiday. Great Apres Ski and fantastic atmosphere from morning to night. Possible to ski in nearby resorts for variation.

A great resort for beginners and Advanced skiers/snowboarders great atmosphere and super friendly, 10k run to the bottom of the mountain is my favourite

Not a major apres ski resort but some options for that Plenty of slope options for all levels. Great snow parkLots of off piste optionsWide runs and good connections Close to Innsbruck with public transport makes it a great option for a larger resort close to the city.

We spent a day at Stubai - the altitude meant we had great snow conditions when the lower resorts were struggling with rain. The choice of pistes isnt huge but the resort is well managed and could definitely keep you interested for a few days. Lots of other resorts to explore nearby too.

I normally ski in Stubai if I ski later in the season as the snow is always good. The slopes are wide and well goomed and there is a fantastic off piste run from the summit to the car park at the bottom (top partbis on regular runs). It is not far from Innsbruck if you want to try other local resorts such as Igls, Axamer Lizum and Seefeld (these are best skied in a day). Best to fly to Munich and hire a car. Could also stop off in Garmisch/Zugspitz for the day on way back to airport!.

My fav Austrian resort. Big enough, always good quality slopes, great lifts and amazing run all the way down to the car park.

Great resort with amazing park stubai zoo. Loads of freeride and powder fields next to slopes so safe. Long groomed runs. Easy to orient in resort. Not too busy lift lines.

I went in a spell of harsher weather, ploughs were out at evening prepping for the next day of skiing. Plenty of staff and rangers. Looked really organised slopes were well maintained and easy to find. Off piste and black routes, from what I saw were fantastic and well used. Inside of course like anywhere was expensive, basic set meals were upmost of 15 euros.
Good atmosphere and friendly people. I'd definitely go again ski pass was competitive price.

Staying at a town 10km away and then getting the bus each morning was easy and included in lift pass. Will be going back. Good range of runs

Lovely family friendly and cost friendly resort with top quality restaurants. Never too busy and always has a lot of fun options to offer

Brilliant location. Great snow and variation of runs. Particularly the black ski out.
Brilliant food. Perfect winter holiday setting.
Also highly recommend sport farm for ski hire.

Being so close to Innsbruck is a huge advantage although getting to slopes in the morning can see a long wait at the base station

I have visited Stubai Glacier on a number of occasions over the years, initially with the British Army, but in more recent years, with a group of families.

Most accommodation is a ski bus ride away from the Glacier, but the bus is frequent and efficient.

The family ski area is ideal for small children and beginners, with plenty of other options for both intermediate and advanced skiers.

The food and drink in the mountain is very reasonably priced and very tasty (I recommend the goulash soup), although it can be difficult to find somewhere to sit during busy periods.

Our children attended ski school for the first 2 times we took them, and they made amazing progress.

Im not one for jumps etc, but the Stubai zoo snow park looks amazing, with jumps to suit all abilities.

There are some large, safe powder areas that are easily accessible just off the pistes.

I thoroughly recommend the Wilde Grubn ski way down to the bottom gondola station.

All in all, a very good ski area with enough terrain to keep you entertained for a week, as long as youre not looking for a new piste every run.
