Skied this area for the odd day a number of times over the past 4 years.

In short, another classic medium size ski resort that the Austrians do so well, with a good variety of reds and blues and the odd black on generally very quiet pistes in the mid week and relatively quite also at weekends.

The town itself is about 1.2km from the base station but has a regular ski bus service up so the inconvenience really is not an issue. It's also a busy working town doubling up as a farming community, tourist resort and commuter town to nearby Innsbruck to which there is a direct tram link, so it has a different feel to your average, hard core ski resort.

Best to buy a valley pass if you're a serious skier as there is probably not enough to keep you happy all week, and this gives you access to Nuestift and more importantly the Stubai Glacier which has a huge variety of challenges both on and off piste and both on and off the glacier to keep the diehards happy.

Overall, highly recommended, especially if you have a mixed group ability and for access to the cultural sites and shopping in nearby Innsbruck for non skiers.
