Stubai Glacier: Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Stubai Glacier best suited to?

Stubai Glacier suits skiers who want early-season or late-season snow within a day trip of Innsbruck, since the drive takes about 45 minutes and lifts reach 3,210 m. Families are catered for with a children's area, childcare at the BIG Family Ski-Camp and free skiing for under-10s accompanied by a paying parent.

Can you ski there in summer?

No. Stubai Glacier runs summer lifts from 20 June to 27 September 2026, but the operator states there is no ski operation and no transport of winter sports equipment in that period. Hintertux, in the Zillertal, is the only Austrian area with skiing all year.

What does the lift ticket include?

Tickets of 1 to 3.5 days and the 3-out-of-4-days ticket are valid on Stubai Glacier alone. From four days upwards the Stubai Ski Pass is included at no surcharge, which adds Schlick 2000, Serlesbahnen and Elferbahnen plus the valley ski bus.

How big is the ski area compared with other Austrian glaciers?

Stubai Glacier covers 1,450 hectares served by 26 lifts, which makes it the largest glacier ski area in Austria. Hintertux tops out slightly higher at 3,250 m, and Pitztal is higher again at 3,440 m, but neither glacier area matches it on lift count.

When does the next winter season start?

Stubai Glacier has scheduled the 2026/27 opening for 9 October 2026, with the operator noting that the actual start date and the number of open lifts and pistes depend on snow and weather. The 2025/26 winter closed on 17 May 2026.

What are the daily lift hours?

Stubai Glacier runs lifts from 08:00 to 16:30 in winter. The first run is at 08:00, the last ride down from the top station is at 16:15, and the last ride down from the middle station is at 16:30.
