Stubai Glacier Reviews & Ratings

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.

Great place for people that can ski or board but hard for beginners great ski road however you need alot of experience to do it

Fantastic resort offering a range of technical or gentle slopes. Loads of back country options too. The snow park is world class level. 2500m plus pistes guarantee snow. Great apres bar at the bottom of the lifts and good transport into the villages. Neustift has some fantastic restaurants and bars with a wide range of hotels and apartments. Only a 25 minute drive from innsbruck airport. Once youve been, I can guarantee you will return.

Overall a fun and interesting resort. While it was very busy with racing while I was there it provided a good combination of on and off piste slopes making it easy to ski different combinations each day.

I was in stubai Glacier for 2 weeks and skid 11 times over the 14 days.

In my opinion Stubai is a great little ski resort with plenty of stations around the mountain for food coffee and beers, theres 1 Apre bar called the umbrella bar which gets lively on a weekend after 4-5pm

Free Bus rides from all local towns into the resort with a ski pass which run roughly every 15 minutes

Over the 11 days only 3 times were the piste bashed however I believe this was due to the snow fall and weather

Great resort would recommend for families but not for party goers

Wicked resort with a good amount of slopes for any skill level, easy to get to and easy to navigate. Lots of lifts all over resort and good food in restaurants too.

Very good resort for a family trip, definitely caters more to higher intermediate and adavanced skiers than beginners though.

Spent 5 days skiing in mid April, was amazed how good the snow conditions so late in the season. Found some great waist deep powder in the margins but we weren't able to explore off piest as we didn't have avy kit.

Pros: the snow conditions were amazing, infrastructure (heated bubble lifts), selection of restaurants and shops on the mountain, very accessible from Innsbruck airport.

Cons: completed all the runs in 1.5 days so the resort smaller than average and there wasn't a big apre scene while we were there.

Overall, I'd go back if I wasn't able to get out earlier in the season or if I was going with family and wanted to have a few days doing something else as we were a 20min bus ride to Innsbruck. Otherwise my preference would be a larger resort with more varied runs.

This is a resort I return back to time and again. The lift capacity is outstanding and the groomed slopes for all abilities to learn and improve. It is th large amount of off piste I like. The hight makes it amazingly snow sure even when other well known resorts are struggling.

Great nursery area and great resort . Had a fantastic week here. Only con is some of the blue runs are quiet steep so although they are wide some beginners may find them intimidating.

Had a great time loved it the zoo Park is amazing would recommend to anyone with experience of skiing

Very good slopes for carving. Excellent snow conditions and great off piste departments! Lifts could be a little bit faster and après-ski possibilities could be better. But if u wanna have a great skiing day with great conditions, ist perfect

Resort:

Quite small but ideal for family groups with enough range of runs(blues&reds) to test ability but also a good level of runs to teach your kids on. The pistes were well groomed and in general good condition.
Lifts were moderately busy but the speed often meant the queues went down quickly. The routes Fernau and Wild GrubN are the only way to ski off the mountain to the Apres bar at the base. If youre not a competent skier Id generally give this a swerve as you become a hazard to others on the route. Wild GrubN gets abit of a mess at the base too.

Ski Pass.

Reasonably priced and if you are travelling with a u10 they get theirs free for the same duration as the paying adults ski pass.

Food & Drink.

There are a good range of restaurants on piste. The largest one being around the Big Family Ski area. Prices are what youd come to expect on piste. Not as expensive as other European Ski resorts.
Apres prices are very good and similar to what you would pay if you werent at a ski resort.

Ski Bus.

I would aim to get the earlier buses for first lift. Later ones are usually full as the Ski schools dont start until later so you get caught in essentially the school run.
Lift pass gets you free us of transport up and down the Valley.

Rental.

Intersport provide ski rentals at the base and at the Gamsgarten piste station. You can also check your skis in on an evening to not carry them back down the mountain.
SkiSet is also in Neustift which provides a very budget friendly service.

Accomodation.

Accomodation throughout the valley is very good and caters to every budget. Most often have a ski and boot storage aswell as provide a private ski bus.

Pros

U10s ski pass
Cheap food and drink
Not alot of queues

Cons

Packed Ski buses
2 ways off the mountain to Apres

Have visited a couple of times and we will definitely be back for more. Great for the family and the food is so good!

The panoramic views are a masterpiece of nature, creating a serene backdrop for the thrill-seekers carving their way down the slopes. The ski instructors expertise ensures a smooth learning curve for those new to the sport, fostering an inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere.

The resorts facilities extend beyond the slopes, with cozy lodges providing a warm refuge. Culinary delights await at the dining venues, offering a variety of options to satisfy post-ski cravings. The spa provides a soothing retreat, completing the experience of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Great resort - lots of groomed posted to working your carving drills. Accommodation in the nearby Neustift. Great food on the slopes. I ski and my buddy snowboards. We are both happy here.
