Stubai Glacier Skigebiet Guide

Situated at the head of the Stubai Valley, the Stubai Glacier is the largest ski area in the Innsbruck area. It is also one of the most popular all-year ski destinations in Europe. Winter sees over 150 km of pistes aimed squarely at the beginner-intermediate. Only a handful of runs at Stubai Glacier are rated expert but the terrain does offer some good off-piste opportunities. The snow record is good but be warned; it can be seriously cold and there is little or no cover provided by trees as you are right at the top of the mountains. Off the slopes you will find two restaurants, a first class hotel and an après-ski bar. Local villages are the main source of accommodation but the proximity of Stubai Glacier to Innsbruck means that this is not really a problem. One hut provides accommodation on the mountain.
