Situated 12km south of Innsbruck, the Stubai Valley must rank as one of the most beautiful in Austria’s Tirol. Surrounded by the magnificent peaks of the Stubai Alps, the Stubai contains five picturesque villages: Schoenberg, Telfes, Mieders, Fulpmes and Neustift.
It would be difficult to find another ski centre with more to offer. Snow is guaranteed 365 days of the year on the Stubai Glacier, together with a wealth of winter skiing through the valley and as wide a choice of après-ski and alternative activities as available anywhere in the Alps. With four ski areas to explore, providing ski terrain for the beginner through to expert, over 150km of piste, served by 44 skilifts, and abundant off-piste opportunities – you won´t be disappointed with the Stubai.

All the villages lie fairly close together and all are picturesque, fulfilling every expectation of the ‘picture postcard’ mountain village. Neustift and Fulpmes, which are only 8km apart, vie with each other as to being the major village of the Stubai.
Retaining all the traditional charm of their farming village origins, both are large, bustling resorts with numerous shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and lively discos to visit as well as very impressive Sports Centres. Neustift is also the area name, which extends right up to the Stubai Glacier, and several of the satellite hamlets, such as Neustift-Neder and Neustift-Milders, have developed into mini resorts in their own right. Neustift is the closest village, at 15km, to the outstanding skiing of the Stubai Glacier at the head of the valley and also has the small but interesting ski area of Elfer (11’er) directly above, while Fulpmes lies at the foot of the Schlick 2000 ski centre. On the opposite side of the valley lies Mieders, in the opinion of many, the most beautiful village of the Stubai. Both Mieders and Schoenberg are traditional, tranquil villages, quieter than their larger neighbours, with a smaller choice of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes to explore. The limited skiing of Serles lies above Mieders while a link road gives quick access to the Schlick 2000 skilifts at Fulpmes, just 3km away.
| Off the slopes the Stubai offers impressive facilities and really does have something for everyone. There are three superb Sports Centres offering indoor tennis, squash and indoor swimming. Tobogganing is available on several runs, including the exhilarating 8km descent at Neustift (Austria´s longest – and not for the faint hearted!), as well as curling, ice-skating, alpine bowling and sleighrides. Innsbruck is easily reached for an excursion. On your final evening is the Ski School prize-giving. |
| Suitable for the beginner through to expert and providing a wide diversity of skiing, the Stubai is renowned as one of Austria’s top ski areas. In the valley, snow conditions are reliable from December through to late April while snow is guaranteed all-year on the Stubai Glacier. In total there are four ski areas in the Stubai connected by skibus, the two largest are the Stubai Glacial Ski Area at the head of the valley, 15km above Neustift, and the Schlick 2000 Ski Arena above Fulpmes. |
