On the slopes

Part of the Arlberg Ski Area, ski Stuben for 9 slopes in the immediate area that cover more than 15km. Wide pistes and also some nice gentle gradients - with off piste to either side of the runs on the Albonagrat mountain from 2400 down. Of course the main attraction is access to over 275km of prime skiing and boarding terrain of the Arlberg ski area - which really does have something there to suit all levels. There is some great local terrain though and as Stuben ski resort lies at 1400m, with the highest lift taking skiers up to 2600m, you get good snow quality. The longest run covers 8km, and it is possible to ski over to the neighbouring resorts of Lech, St Anton, St Christoph and Zürs with ease. Stuben actually offers the fastest route to the Valluga region of the ski area without being in St Anton itself.

Off the slopes

Stuben ski resort was originally named after the warm parlour - or Stube - of an 18th century shelter in the Arlberg Pass. Amazingly, only 32 houses have been added since then. These days you can stay at the four-star Hotel Post, where mail-coach drivers used to change horses ahead of the arduous journey up the pass. With just a handful of other hotels and restaurants, this is the place to come for a quiet, relaxed winter vacation with countless winter activities on your doorstep.

WE LIKE

Good pistes for beginners and intermediates to get to grips with
Altitude is quite high at 1400 which ensures some great snow conditions and superb powder when it's the right stuff!
Surrounding Arlberg ski area is amazing for off piste and on piste challenges and varying terrain

WE DON'T LIKE

Very limited overall skiing - you will need to traverse mountains via ski lifts to open up the good pistes
Quiet town for nightlife - although some good bars and hotels
Transferring by bus is a bit of pain between local resorts if you don't time the end of day well
