Lots of events to start the winter on the Stubai Glacier

Last updated on 22.10.2024

November 2024 is peppered with a series of exciting events on the Stubai Glacier, the largest glacier ski area in Austria, that will delight winter sports enthusiasts and freestyle fans alike. From the test opportunities of the new equipment at the Stubai Zoo Park & Test Days or the INTERSPORT Testival to top-class competitions at the FIS Freeski World Cup in slopestyle. Thanks to its altitude at over 3,000 metres, the Stubai Glacier offers guaranteed snow and thus ideal conditions for sporting highlights as well as unforgettable experiences in winter.

Park & Test Days at Stubai Zoo (08 – 10 November 2024)

The Stubai Zoo Park & Test Days will be an action-packed start to the season from 8 to 10 November 2024. Visitors can expect a varied programme with sessions at the Snowpark Stubai Zoo. These include the “Cash & Goodies for Tricks” session and the new Snowskate Session. The heart of the event, however, is definitely the test area on the Eisgrat, where the latest ski and snowboard products can be tested free of charge. A valid photo ID is enough to try out the latest equipment from the top brands directly on the slopes and in the snow park. The event is rounded off by evening parties in the valley and a movie night that will amaze and entertain.

Less than a week later, the next winter sports innovations are already available for rent and try out at the INTERSPORT Testival on the Stubai Glacier. From November 14 to 17, 2024, the area at the Eisgrat mountain station will be transformed into the stage of the INTERSPORT Testival, where winter sports enthusiasts of all kinds can experience the innovations of the coming season up close. More than 20 well-known brands will present their products, which can be tried out directly on the snow-sure slopes. In addition, exclusive side events such as avalanche safety training, technique courses and freeride workshops attract visitors. A special opportunity is offered by the “Ride with your Pro” workshop, which offers valuable insights into the world of freeriding. In the evening, chill-out parties in the valley invite you to end the day in a relaxed way.
