The Stubaital is an elongated valley south of Innsbruck. The glacier at the end of the valley is, of course, the main attraction of the area. Good quality snow lies here for the whole year and in the pre and late season you will regularly come across ski teams who come here from all over the world. The glacier skiing area consists of 20 ski lifts and approximately 55 kilometres of skiing pistes that vary from the very simple to the more difficult. There are also three other skiing areas in the valley; the Elfer skiing area at Neustift ( 9kms. of pistes and 4 ski lifts), the Serles skiing area at Mieders ( 7kms. of pistes and 4 ski lifts ) and the Schlick skiing area at Fulpmes ( consisting of 18 kms. of pistes and 8 ski lifts )
