About the area
Stubaier Gletscher spreads 49 km of pistes fairly evenly between blue (21 km) and red (22 km), with just under 5 km marked black or freeride — about 9% of the area. That balance makes it a solid choice for beginners and improvers: 46% of the terrain (23 km) is green or blue, and there are 14 short easy runs right next to a lift base. Families are well served by four magic carpets for first turns. Committed experts will find less to chew on, with only 9% steep terrain.
Skiing runs from 1,692 m up to 3,208 m, so snow cover is reliable through a long season. Of the 24 lifts, five are gondolas or cable cars, which means no chairlift loading with small children, plus seven chairlifts and assorted drags. The longest descent measures 4 km, and the biggest single-run vertical is 891 m. There are also 2 km of cross-country trails.
