Tirolerhund from Ski United Kingdom United Kingdom
Skied this area for the odd day a number of times over the past 4 years. In short, another classic medium size ski resort that the Austrians do so well, with a good variety of reds and blues and the odd black on generally very quiet pistes in the mid week and relatively quite also at weekends. The town itself is about 1.2km from the base station but has a regular ski bus service up so the inconvenience really is not an issue. It's also a busy working town doubling up as a farming community, tourist resort and commuter town to nearby Innsbruck to which there is a direct tram link, so it has a different feel to your average, hard core ski resort. Best to buy a valley pass if you're a serious skier as there is probably not enough to keep you happy all week, and this gives you access to Nuestift and more importantly the Stubai Glacier which has a huge variety of challenges both on and off piste and both on and off the glacier to keep the diehards happy. Overall, highly recommended, especially if you have a mixed group ability and for access to the cultural sites and shopping in nearby Innsbruck for non skiers.

A great intermediate resort with more challenging runs up the road at the Stubier Gletcher. Plenty of choice for mid day eateries and not overpriced.

Cosy village. 12 year old daughter learnt to ski here, by the 3rd day was skiing on the top slopes. In her class of 8 she was known as 'English girl' and got by on 'Germinglish' just fine. We walked from our apartment to the base lift, good warm up, not reliant on transport. Small supermarket for self catering. The best Italian restaurant we have ever eaten at is in this village and looking forward to going back hill walking in the summer. Lovely small track railway down to Innsbruck, well priced, for a nice day out and stunning valley views.Taxi cheap enough from Innsbruck airport to the village.

Resort caters mostly for German guests, there are no English newspapers. Schlick 2000 - sorry not recommended, more buses required! No green runs, blues are difficult for beginners. Fine if you like having to plan your skiing around the advertised "regular buses" that stop running at 11am and might turn up again about 2.30pm, then every half hour. We seemed to spend too much time waiting around. Kids ski school was manic, too many kids with 1 teacher. Nursery slopes require a truck ride which is only available for people paying for ski school. Until you can ride a T bar lift you are stuck there or you have a very big uphill walk back to the gondola. Cafes are all reasonably priced. The best food choices are at the top Panorama restaurant. The Stubierhoff hotel was excellent. Aprox 40 mins bus ride to the glacier where there is a lot more skiing.
