Stuben village is small and neatly compact, with easy access to the slopes, it is often quicker to access the slopes of St Anton via Stuben, in preference to battling the masses in St Anton itself! A newer and faster chairlift in Stuben, would be an improvement, which I hope the piste managers will note. It can be very cold in January, as the chairlift from Stuben is in a shaded bowl, to the extent you are offered blankets by the chairlift attendants, before commencing your journey, so be warned !!!!!!!!!!!!

Once on the superb slopes the cold is forgotten and as well as the slopes around Stuben & St Anton, it is also worth skiing to the next chairlift and taking the ski bus to Lech, which departs every 20 mins (do not wait for a bus in Stuben itself, you could have a long wait in the cold!!!) Once in Lech this opens up the slopes of Lech, Oberlech, Zurs + Zug as well. The Ski circus route is worth taking for skiers who like to cover the miles. Overall a great skiing destination for intermediate skiers.

Stuben is compact and as such all the three main bars have a great feel to them - not much choice, but a good night out can be had with ease. I have been to offer resorts who boast great apres ski, whose bars are dull in comparison.

We liked the easy access to the lift, and being away from the crowds.

Nice little town, the Hotel Mondschein was just enough off the main road.

A sleepy town compared to St Anton or Lech, but that was okay by us.

There is skiing directly out of the village with uncrowded pistes, good for intermediates and it goes directly into St Anton area - perfect! I have not done it but I saw loads of offpiste skiing which is supposed to be some of the best around

Although small, I was more wowed by this place than any other resort I have been to. It is just the perfect, tiny, traditional austrian ski resort - probably looks the same as 50 years ago!!

Limited but dedicated beginners ski area in Stuben. Great for intermediates with immediate access into the St Anton ski area. The pinnacle of off-piste skiing in Austria!

Stunning and atmospheric ski holiday resort with great access to the slopes. Very few facilities outside of the resort itself.

Great atmosphere, relaxed, almost car free and good access to the slopes. Nothing really beyond the accommodation in Stuben though.

A surprising number of little bars are tucked away in Stuben.
