The ski area spans 1,695 to 3,210 m. The valley station at Mutterberg and the top at Schaufeljoch are at very different heights, so a sunny valley can have a cloud-covered glacier.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I see the Stubai Glacier snow report?
On the operator's website or by phone: +43 5226 8141. We do not publish live numbers.
Why can Top of Tyrol be closed?
The operator says it may close after snowfall because cornices up to 3.5 m can form.
Is the weather in the valley the same as at the glacier?
No. The glacier is up to 2,200 m higher than the valley station area; expect colder and often cloudier conditions.
Is snow guaranteed?
No. Altitude helps but snow is never guaranteed.
