You can fly to Innsbruck in about 1,5 hours from Eindhoven, Rotterdam or Amsterdam. Less than half an hour's drive and you are at the first slope of the Stubai Valley, the Stubai Valley. Those flights are of course very expensive, I hear you think. Transavia offers one-way flights from €29. Then you have to be there early. But even for a month from now - just looked - you can still find flights for €110 return. The Stubai ski area has 4 ski resorts. The Stubai Glacier, Schlick 2000, Elfer and Serles. Suitable for young and old, experienced and beginners. If you go outside the holidays, it is quiet. Without it taking away from the fun. The alpine huts are just as cozy at lunchtime. And the typical Austrian food tastes just as good. Especially after a morning of downhill skiing, the local Kasspatzln, all kinds of Knödel or Kaiserschmarren are delicious. This makes us warm.

Stubai has several villages. We stayed in Fulpmes, the first village in the valley from Innsbruck. At the foot of Schlick 2000. A cozy village with plenty of hotels, apartments, bars and restaurants. If you fancy a few days of pampering with a swimming pool and lovely spa, take a look at Sporthotel Cristall. With the nice restaurant you no longer have to leave the house in the evening. And you will also be spared your share of muscle pain after a sauna or swimming session. Neustift is the largest village in the area. Even more accommodations, restaurants and entertainment. And this village is closest to the glacier. There are also the smaller villages of Mieders, Telfes and Schönberg, which all have their own charm. The website Stubai.at gives you all the information about the accommodations, slopes and what other activities there are to do. We want to go back already.
