Stubai Apres Ski Bars & Restaurants
Après ski in Stubai begins at the gondola base and usually ends at the bars and clubs in the centre of Neustift or Fulpmes. These can be pretty quiet depending on the night of the week so if high voltage Apres-ski into the early hours is what you are looking for, then Stubai probably isn’t for you.Stubaital Apres Ski Bars
Après ski begins at the gondola base in the Wilde Grub’n and Schirmbar Mutterberg (the umbrella bar) further down past the bus stop. The American Bar is a local favourite and the Dorf Pub in Neustift comes alive with live music every Wednesday, when great bands attract a crowd from up and down the valley. For a slightly more laid back approach the try the Rossini pub and pizzeria. The Pia cocktail bar has welcome modern décor.
Stubaital Restaurants
Neustift has plenty of restaurants to choose from including many good hotel restaurants also open to non-residents. If you are after pizza and pasta try Bellafonte or Don Camillo. The casual Grill Stube, with its open oven does grilled meat specialties.
Tuesday is the dishwasher’s night off at the Restaurant Schallerhof, where they serve dinner without cutlery as a once a week treat. Further along the Stubai valley there are more extravagent restaurants in Fulpmes; the Bel Ami and Gasthof Grobenhof.
Fulpmes is the place for more extravagant dining. For typical Austrian beer and fare, the Volderauhof Jausenstation at Volderau bus stop, five minutes from gondola base, looks quaint, as does the lovely old painted house of Geier Alm.
Stubaital Nightlife
The Rumpl Disco in the centre of Neustift is the main club. The après-ski bus runs from 7:00 p.m. and 2 a.m. between Kampl and Mutterberg, so no worry of being Cinderall’ed in your ski boots at midnight.
Surprisingly Fulpmes has a table dancing bar, the Kratzbaum, which looks all very stylish in its quaint old building right in the entrance to the village. Although this shouldn’t be surprising in Austria any more, since such establishments are becoming pretty commonplace, it’s not quite what you might expect in a small traditional village like Fulpmes.
