With one of the world's biggest vertical drops, you will be spoilt for runs.
Transportation on the slopes of Neustift is easy since there are five gondolas and seven chairs which move a large number of skiers on a regular basis. Snowboarders also enjoy the area due to its good snow park and great vertical drop of 1400m that's available right across the slopes.

Off the Slopes
While the Neustift ski resort is quieter than other resorts in Austria, it is the liveliest spot in the Stubai valley so if après ski activities are important to you during your holiday it is the best place to stay. The village is somewhat commercialised and offers plenty of restaurants, bars, and pubs for those who want to get out and enjoy themselves but has managed to hold onto its rustic charm at the same time. You may also want to take part in ice skating or a snow shoe trail to explore the beauty of the Stubai glacial area.
