Aside from one single run, all trails on Stubaier Gletscher span the high-altitude band between 2,300 and 3,210 metres above sea level. Snow is guaranteed here from October through to June, and the ski area’s “Kingdom of Snow” slogan couldn’t be more apt. Over 60 of the 70 trail kilometres are rated blue or red (as of March 2016), offering an above-average range of runs for less experienced skiers. With numerous additional offerings for families, such as the “Big Family Camp”, the highest ski area in the Stubai Valley has emerged as a great destination for families with children in recent years. But if you think that this ski area would only be of interest for beginners, think again. Stubaier Gletscher more than impressed us in the freeride category too. Take a look at our lowdown for each individual test category to see how we rated the ski area overall.
