Large, kind of in charge

27/03/2023
One of the three Innsbruck resorts I visited, Stubai is large with a number of opportunities to explore.
ACCESS: We did not have a car in Innsbruck so elected to use the bus system. As with a lot of Austria, buses are cash only. Buses are NOT ski buses, so you will be stopping constantly to the local routes. Stubai bus was the only one where we had to pay - 4 Euro per person each way - make sure to pay at the bus as the terminals will charge you more. The return bus was a bit confusing - we had to swap once. Despite this, it was still an easy 1.5-2h commute.
TERRAIN: This is by far the largest of the Innsbruck resorts. We covered most of the resort in a day, however given the low tide season of 2023 there was a number of closed lifts. You could happily spend at least two days here without fresh snow.
PISTE: Pistes we’re long and plentiful and well groomed. Some pistes had a speed check area which was a novelty.
OFF-PISTE: I was impressed with the off piste opportunities. There are a number of natural half pipe type runs between pistes that were a lot of fun. Small traverses also unlocked some short but fun descents.
PARK: A strange situation - given the Stubai Zoo from April onwards, I assumed there would be a good park setup. In fact, there was the smallest park setup I had seen in Austria. Still fun to be had but don’t come here pre April expecting much park.
CROWDS: We went on a Friday and the resort did not feel crowded. We experienced some 2 minute waits but nothing significant.
FOOD: We only spent the day so did not explore a heap. There was a lower number of huts for the size of the place and stuff seemed to have a slight premium to other Innsbruck resorts. Make sure to bring cash.
VALUE: The most expensive resort in the Innsbruck region but not overpriced. There was still some older lifts (a slow double on the back side) but the majority were quality. I felt that the price matched the value.

OVERALL: I enjoyed Stubai and would return. You could spend a lot of time here when it snows which I will look to pursue in the future.

Spent the weekend there. April 2016.
It snow a day before my visit. The snow was great off piste. Choppy at times but great over all Did not ride much of the Piste trails as they were crowded. Views are stunning. Backcountry is worth it. Ride "The Wall" when you there! Night life is somehow okay. Nothing special.
Would definitely recommend.

Quality all the Way at Stubai Glacier

29/01/2017
The quality of the snow, lifts and facilities at Stubai is just about second to none. Great children's facilities at Gamsgarten, stunning scenery all around, challenging off piste - its just a fun, diverse place to have a ski.

Two base areas have super efficient lifts to get every member of the family up the hill. Being glacier based, there is always quality snow and skiing here.

Restaurant, bar and outdoor seating facilities are fantastic. You can eat simple, traditional, fine dining or get half a roast chicken take away. Loved it.

Loses points for having a very plocky valley run open (maybe should have been closed), a long bus trip up and lack of a nearby town.

Can do a day trip from Innsbruck though on the 509a bus. Beware that if you have a few beers after skiing, make sure you pee before getting on the bus. Its 1hr20min to Innsbruck! If staying in Innsbruck there a loads of after ski options.
