The ski area from Fulpmes
Fulpmes is the home base of Schlick 2000, a compact area above the village with wide pistes for families, beginners and intermediates. The main skiing in the valley sits between 1762 and 2709 metres according to our data.
The Stubai valley's real flagship is the Stubai Glacier at the head of the valley, Austria's largest glacier ski area. With the ski bus you combine both: easy practice above Fulpmes, big days on the glacier.
Snow reliability in the Stubai valley
With skiing up to 2709 metres and the glacier as a trump card further up the valley, you are rarely short of snow in the Stubaital. Recent winters measured up to 206 centimetres on top, and a first centimetre of fresh October snow fell this past week.
The glacier area often opens in autumn already. Only the lowest village runs can be vulnerable in December and March; plan those days higher up the valley.
The village of Fulpmes
Fulpmes is a mid-sized Tyrolean village with a life beyond tourism, known for its old forges, shops and a pleasant village core. It feels less polished-touristy than many pure ski resorts, which is exactly its charm.
Nightlife is modest: a few bars and gasthofs for a relaxed evening. The Stubai valley is not a party destination anyway, but for village atmosphere it delivers.
Who is Fulpmes for
Fulpmes works well for families and mixed-ability groups: beginners and children practise on the wide slopes of Schlick 2000, while advanced skiers take the bus to the glacier for altitude and guaranteed snow.
It also suits anyone who wants to combine skiing with Innsbruck, which is a short drive away. Party-focused visitors and skiers who insist on doorstep access to a mega resort should look elsewhere.
Practical: getting there and booking
You reach the Stubai valley quickly via the A12 motorway and the Schönberg exit just past Innsbruck, making it one of the easier Tyrolean valleys to drive to. Flying into Innsbruck with a short transfer also works well.
We offer 8 accommodations in Fulpmes, with trips from 869 euros per person. Because the glacier attracts skiers early and late in the season, November, December and March are relatively popular booking months here.
