WINTER STARTS NOW

Winter arrives early in Innsbruck and the Stubai Valley. While many destinations are still waiting for their first snowfall, the Stubai Glacier is already in peak form, offering perfect turns high above the clouds. And it’s not just the glacier. With Kühtai, Hochoetz, Axamer Lizum, Schlick 2000 and more opening from end-November to mid-December, the region delivers one of the most reliable season starts in the Alps. And with the SKI plus CITY Pass Stubai Innsbruck, winter begins smarter, and far more flexible. One ticket unlocks 12 ski areas, 23 attractions, public transport, and the best mix of alpine and urban experiences. One pass, endless winter.

Innsbruck transforms under warm winter lights, with medieval streets, the scent of roasted almonds, and festive Christmas markets - bringing the season to life. From mid-November, the city fills with cozy Christkindlmärkte (christmas markets) and the magical Lumagica light festival, while the Stubai Valley shines with its own Christmas glow.
