Skiing from Neustift
From Neustift everything revolves around the Stubai Glacier at the head of the valley, with wide, high-altitude pistes that stay open long into the season. The village also has its own lifts, and the family area Schlick 2000 near Fulpmes is a bus ride away.
Skiing in the valley takes place between 1762 and 2709 metres according to our data. Beginners find gentle terrain, while advanced skiers enjoy the glacier descents and, in the right conditions, freeride options.
Snow reliability thanks to the glacier
Neustift is one of the safer snow bets in the Alps: the Stubai Glacier usually opens in autumn and keeps running well into spring. Recent winters measured up to 206 centimetres of snow on top, and fresh snow fell again this week.
The lowest runs towards the valley remain sensitive in fringe weeks, but above them you almost always ski on a solid base. For early-season and late-season trips, this valley is a logical choice.
The village of Neustift
Neustift is lively without being loud, with a pretty core around its large baroque church, plenty of restaurants and shops, and beds ranging from guesthouses to four-star hotels. The village grew with tourism but still feels genuinely Tyrolean.
Apres-ski exists in modest form, mainly near the lifts and in a handful of bars. If you want a party every night, better-known party resorts will suit you more; for a balance of atmosphere and calm, Neustift is a fine pick.
Who is Neustift for
Neustift suits a broad audience: families benefit from ski schools and gentle practice terrain, advanced skiers from the glacier and its long descents, and fringe-season travellers from the snow guarantee at altitude.
It is also a smart destination for late deciders or very early-season skiers. With trips from 640 euros per person, it is one of the more affordable glacier bases in Austria.
Practical: getting there and booking
You reach Neustift via the A12 motorway and the Stubai valley road just past Innsbruck; the drive from the Netherlands or Belgium is straightforward and the transfer from Innsbruck airport is short. Ski buses run up the valley to the glacier.
We offer 11 accommodations in Neustift, from 640 euros per person. The glacier makes October through May skiable; for peak weeks around Christmas and February half-term, booking early pays off.
