Where to Stay When Skiing Stubai Glacier
Stubai Glacier presents some interesting questions as to where to base oneself. As it worthy of several days’ exploration, staying closer to the ski resort base may be the best & most worthwhile option. Equally, if chasing nice weather or snow conditions and want greater flexibility, Innsbruck may make more sense.
Several villages in the Stubaital (Stubai valley), such as Neustift in Stubaital, Volderau and Fulpmes offer all the services and accommodation options one could ask for and are connected to Stubai Glacier via the local free ski bus. Fulpmes is the most vibrant & charming of the valley villages.
On the mountain, there is one traditional alpine ski-in ski-out lodge, the Dresdner Hütte, located above the Fernau mid-station (2,300m). If seeking a true Austrian Alps experience in glorious alpine surrounds, this is where to stay. Access is via the gondola.
At the base of Stubai Glacier, between the valley stations of Gamsgarten and Eisgrat, there is one lively hotel. The locality is known Mutterbergalm. The Hotel Alpensport is not just Stubai Glacier's only true hotel with ski-in convenience, it is in fact the only hotel near the ski lifts full stop! It has an enthusiastic après ski scene on occasions and is within walking distance of either the Eisgrat or Gamsgarten gondolas.
