Overview

Ski holidays in Neustift - Stubai - just 30 minutes drive from Innsbruck, Stubai is one of Austria's most beautiful valleys just over the Brenner pass from Italy and home to some beautiful yet quaint family friendly ski resorts and Austria's largest glacier. However, don't be fooled by it's quaintness! Stubai punches well above it's weight when you sample the ski terrain and when it comes to the apres-ski - relaxed and fun is how we would describe it.

Whilst not the highest, the Stubai glacier is very large with the pistes normally open from the start of October through to June offering one of the longest ski seasons in the Alps! This is one of the major attractions - being able to ski on uncrowded pistes, off season and without the heft prices!

Ski holidays in Neustift are about combining the winter sports activities with relaxation and wellbeing. The whole Stubai valley offers 140km of piste covering the ski areas of:

• Elfer above the village at Neustift
• Schlick 2000 above the village of Fulpmes
• The Serles area above Mieders - Serles is the famous peak acting like a centurion to the entrance of the Stubai valley, and
• the Stubai glacier which is the main and best area with 110km of slopes

The local ski area is relatively small and is accessed by the Elfer gondola rising to just over 1800m. From there, you take a drag to the highest point, Elferhütte at 2080m and then can ski down what is basically a long red run back to Neustift.

For children, the "Big Family" creche at the Gamsgarten mountain station takes kids from the age of 3 where they can play with handicrafts, painting and playing inside or outside in the snow. There is also the "Big Family Ski Camp" next door which is a secure area where children from the age of 4 can learn to ski.
