I've skied Stubai on 3 sperate days in the past 12 months and have to say the place is epic! It's so much more than a glacier with 110 km of marked pistes, many of which are non glacial. The snow is always great from the Dresdener Hut upwards and Ski Route (Itinerary)14 to the bottom is magnificent.

For hard core skiers the off-piste is virtually unlimited, with further challenges for ski-touring and couloir thrill seekers. There are crevasses but in the core season these are no issue, however, off-piste is a no-no in the summer months.

For beginners the area around Gamsgarten is perfect with dry snow guaranteed throughout the winter and well into April.

Great choice of restaurants on the mountain with the Dresdener Hut being great value.

Apres-ski at Gamsgarten is incredible, especially when they open the roof and everybody starts dancing on the tables, before de-camping down to the Mutterberger Alm at the bottom for more of the same! Classic Austrian party time.

Mutterberger Alm is also a great 4 star hotel and very reasonably priced for ski in-ski out lovers.
