Stubai is very good! Bearing in mind before you go this resort is all glacier! So if you don't like wide open huge motorway type runs it may not be for you. With that in mind, Stubai is unrivalled in glacier skiing! The biggest skiable glacier in Austria and maybe the world means there is 150km of slopes! When we went it had been snowing all night and had resulted in a mega 1m of snow. The glacial ski area itself is huge with vast expanse of ice and snow. The mountain restaurant we went to was self service but very good. The only downside at Stubai was the incredible 16km red run down from the glacier to the bottom lift. This run was huge in terms of length but very narrow in parts and we made the mistake of going back down at the end of the day just as everyone who had been on the glacier was coming down as well! It was pure chaos in parts and because of the carnage snow cover even after the 1m of snow was wearing away, However, snow cannons where blasting away. The run itself was in poor maintenance with stones in places, howvever, if there had been fewer people I might have actually enjoyed it!

Accommodation: There is no accommodation at the foot of the bottom lift, instead you have to stay in Neustift just down the valley.
