Austria, Neustift in Stubaital: Skiing with Kids

Ladestatthof, Neustif in Stubaital,

Stubaital is a valley about 13 km from Innsbruck in Tirol, Austria, with the beautiful Stubai Glacier at its end. We have been going to a place called Ladestatthof in a village called Neustift in Stubaital. You can rent rooms or appartments with own kitchen. Prices in 2008 were about 80/100 EUR per appartement for 4 people a day. What we like about it is their "wellness area" (sauna, steam bath, etc. free of charge) and their two playrooms for kiddies which are right next to the wellness area. Another nice thing: kids under 10 get ski passes for the glacier for free. Every morning you have to drive to get to the parking lot under the glacier (about 20 min).
