Stuben ski resort is situated above the Stuben village, and together with popular St. Anton and St. Christoph forms a vast ski area St.Anton-St.Christoph-Stuben, which is known for its various skiing possibilities off the groomed slopes and for the rich snowfall.

Stuben is considered a Cradle of Alpine Skiing as well as a Paradise for passionate skiing fans. It is located in the western part of Austria, 110km west of Innsbruck.

An offer of après-ski activities in the village of Stuben can not even compare to the well known and famous St.Anton, the legendary town, which is the main site of an area. But anyway Stuben is still very nice and suitable for all types of skiers and offers really nice skiing in Austrian Alps with great view of the surrounding peaks.
