Following a successful start to the 2026/27 winter season and the continuous expansion of its slopes and lifts, Austria's largest glacier ski resort invites visitors to enjoy winter at its finest with a series of event highlights. Until mid-November, four events will take place – the Ski Oktoberfest, the Stubai Prime Park Sessions, the Stubai Zoo Park & Test Days, and the Intersport Testival – bringing skiers, freeriders, and snowboarders together at an altitude of over 3,000 meters.
Impressive panoramas, freshly groomed slopes, and a comprehensive event calendar make the Stubai Glacier the ideal destination for a holiday or day trip – and all this just 45 minutes from Innsbruck and easily accessible by public transport. This autumn, Austria's largest glacier ski resort focuses on tradition, top-class sport, and innovation: Between the end of October and mid-November, four events will provide special experiences on and off the slopes.
Ski Oktoberfest WEISSE WIES'N
The Gamsgarten mountain station will be hosting a Bavarian-style celebration on October 24th and 25th, 2026. The "WEISSE WIES'N" ski Oktoberfest will feature live music from the "Rieder Gipfelstürmer" band. Other events include a ceremonial tapping of the first keg, a performance by the nostalgic ski group "Feuerkogel," Oktoberfest treats, prize draws, and a stein-holding competition. A special treat for traditional Bavarian clothing enthusiasts: anyone arriving for skiing on Saturday or Sunday in a dirndl or lederhosen will receive a 50% discount on the regular adult day ski pass.
Stubai Prime Park Sessions
The Stubai Prime Park Sessions will start on November 2, 2026.
