With a 5km ridge, a vertical of at least 1km and snow accumulation record that is in the top 3 in the Alps, the case for Stuben being the best off-piste ski holiday destination in the Alps is strong. Added to that there is heli skiing on offer (Lech – Zurs being the only region in Austria to allow this) and you quickly get the idea that it is the most serious of off-piste destinations. Verbier in Switzerland has the label but La Grave, France and the Krippenstein Freeride Arena in Austria offer good equals to Stuben am Arlberg. When the ski guides of St Anton all head out to Stuben for powder action there can be few better recommendations.
