St Anton Ski Holidays

“A world class ski resort, vast ski area and fantastic après-ski”

St Anton is the largest and best-known of the resorts in the ‘Ski Arlberg’ region and attracts an international crowd who come to experience its challenging pistes, endless off-piste and to indulge in its pulsating après-ski.

The addition of new lifts connecting Stuben to Zürs and Lech to Warth-Schröcken crowned the Ski Arlberg Area as the largest lift-linked Ski Resort in Austria and the entire region has a superb snow record.

The resort centre is traditional and offers a huge selection of bars, cafés, boutique shops and restaurants with a very lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Holiday prices are at a premium and, with most Hotels only accepting 7-night stays, flexible and weekend availability is very limited.

On the Mountain 

Whilst there are some beginner slopes directly above the resort, the area is best suited to strong intermediates and experts who will relish the prospect of tackling St Anton’s steeper terrain and exploring all that the vast Arlberg region has to offer.

With 305 kilometres of pistes to navigate, skiers can fill their days with long circuits including the thigh-busting 85 kilometre ‘Run of Fame’ and the ‘Weisse Ring’ Circuit above Lech-Zurs.

St Anton is a freeride mecca and there are countless off-piste itineraries. These are best tackled with a local guide – they really do add local knowledge, safety and value to your holiday - and are the only way you’ll get to ski off the back of the Valluga, one of Europe’s must-ski off-piste itineraries.

North and west-facing Rendl is a quieter and underrated part of the St Anton area and includes the impressive Stanton Snow Park and Rendl Beach as well as offering good ski touring. The lesser-visited slopes of Stuben and Sonnenkopf are also worth a look.

Off the Mountain 

St Anton’s après-ski is legendary and by mid-afternoon the party crowds are packed in to the slope-side Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh bars just above the resort. It’s a short ski down from there and the resort centre has a huge selection of bars, pubs and clubs rubbing shoulders with restaurants offering everything from tapas, steaks, sushi and Thai to more traditional fare.
 
For a more relaxed evening, head to St Anton’s stylish Wellness centre, Arlberg WellCom, which features an extensive spa area, swimming pools, gym, tennis, relaxation areas and treatment rooms. An indoor climbing centre,  bowling, ice skating and sleigh rides are also available in resort.
