Do you know that feeling when it's snowing outside, you see the first pictures of fresh snow on Instagram and can hardly wait to strap on your skis? I feel like that regularly in winter, because there's hardly anything better than a day on the piste. To ensure that your ski day – or even your eagerly awaited ski holiday – can be enjoyed in a relaxed way and stress-free, I’m going to tell you now how to plan it from the comfort of your couch and to secure an “all-round carefree” package.

Planning made easy: your ski pass is already waiting

A well-planned ski day starts best with the online purchase of your ski pass. No long queues, no hectic rush - simply book your ski pass from home and start your skiing experience in a relaxed way. This is possible thanks to the Online Ticket Shop of the Stubai Glacier. Whether for the same-day, the next-day, weather for or a day pass or a multi-day ski pass, you can either purchase a Stubai Glacier keycard, top up an existing keycard or opt for a pick-up voucher, which you can redeem on site at a ticket machine. If you purchase your ticket up to 2 days in advance, you will get a 3% discount. And your ski day can begin!

Conveniently to the gondola: free ski bus

Why get into your own car when you can travel more comfortably? The valley ski bus and the VVT bus line no. 590 brings guests with winter sports gear, valid ski pass or a Stubai Valley guest card directly to the base station of the Stubai Glacier – and all of this free of charge. From the Schönberg bus stop, the gate to the Stubai Valley, directly to Mutterberg and the lifts of the Stubai Glacier from the numerous bus stops (in 15-minute intervals within the Stubai Valley or in 30-minute intervals from Innsbruck). Long searches for parking spaces and the walk to the lift are a thing of the past.

One-stop shop: top equipment without hauling your gear

If you want to travel with light luggage, don’t want to lug your ski equipment around and want to test the latest equipment, it’s best to rent skis, boots, snowboards and more directly at the sports shop. This not only saves time, but also money. Because if you book your rental equipment from home, you not only get a 5% discount, the equipment is also ready and waiting for you to pick up on the morning of the ski day.

Customers not only benefit from a simple and uncomplicated service, but also from many other advantages, such as a free exchange facility in the ski area, free ski storage at the mountain station, free service and free or discounted rates for children.

The highlight: pure skiing fun

Once you have arrived comfortably and are perfectly equipped, the real highlight of every skiing day can begin: the skiing itself. In Austria's largest glacier ski area, skiers can expect a wide range of slopes for all ability levels, modern cable cars and lifts, culinary temptations in several self-service and á la carte restaurants and, of course, a fantastic mountain panorama. And the best: thanks to the altitude of the ski area, you can ski on perfectly groomed pistes on the Stubai Glacier from mid-October to May.

So good: culinary break stop

A break stop is a must on a perfect day of skiing. Eight restaurants and huts cater to your culinary needs – offering everything from traditional regional to modern international cuisine. If you want to enjoy a relaxed break, book your table at the Schaufelspitz restaurant from home, browse through the menus of the other service- and market restaurants or give your loved ones a voucher as a present, for example for a hearty breakfast at an altitude of 2,900 metres. Enjoy your meal!

After your ski day: everything stored safely

Ski depots and lockers are available at the Stubai Glacier to store your equipment so that your skiing day ends just as relaxed as it began. No hassle of lugging your skis to the hotel and always dry ski boots - thanks to the state-of-the-art ski storage depots at the 3S Eisgratbahn or Gamsgarten base stations. There are also smaller lockers for storing rucksacks or bags at the Eisgrat and Gamsgarten mountain stations. And of course – this service can be booked online and in advance from home.

Bottom line: all-round carefree skiing fun

A well-organised skiing day means more time for the essentials: the fun of skiing, spending time with family and friends and the fantastic panorama of the snow-covered mountains. Thanks to the numerous (online) services of the Stubai Glacier, your skiing day or your ski holidays will be an all-round carefree experience.
