Stubai–Neustift / Advanced
© copyright Stubaier Gletscher
Glaciers being glaciers - fairly flat as snow features go - there
are just a few black runs, and pretty light black ones too. Piste 7 is
a short steep pitch; to its skier's left is an ungroomed bump run. A
longer black run weaves off the four-man Rotadl chair. More
interestingly, there are four marked ski routes to explore, none of
them groomed or patrolled according to signs though this was not
strictly the case. The ski route Wilde Grub'n is a twisting and varied
10km off-piste route that winds through a dramatic open bowl and
finishes down at the base station, covering a vertical drop of 1,500
metres with snowmaking the entire way. More challengingly, strong
skiers can head down under the Gamsgarten gondola to get first tracks
in the morning or, to avoid Wilde Grub'n crowds at the day's end --
like the ski instructors do.
Ski touring in the Stubai
There are lots of hikes and/or ski tours that, with 30-45 minutes of up-work, end up back in the resort or at a hut with taxi back. For extremists, the couloirs to the right of the Gamsgarten gondola are only a few metres wide and make even the resident mountain goats nervous. From the top of the Schaufelspitze, 3333m, which takes about 45 minutes to reach on foot, there's a steep 45 degree couloir. Easier, less threatening and more accessible powder runs can be found off the double chair Wildspitz and the four-man chair Rotadl. There are lovely red touring runs off the top of Daunkopf, accessed from the top of the ski route Wilde Grub'n.
