Situated in the heart of the Arlberg, St Anton fully deserves its reputation as a world-class ski & snowboard ski holiday resort. Renowned worldwide for its demanding terrain, deep snow and vibrant après-ski culture, St. Anton combines a traditional Tyrolean village atmosphere with cutting-edge lift infrastructure.
You can expect spectacular scenery, state-of-the-art lift systems and incredibly vast terrain. A ski holiday in St Anton offers the perfect combination of skiing and entertainment. The Flexenbahn lift links St Anton to Lech and Zürs, creating the largest linked ski region in Austria with a whopping 305km of pistes. Skiing here is best suited to confident intermediates and advanced skiers, with steep pistes, long reds and famous off-piste routes. Beginners are catered for, though they may find neighbouring resorts in the Arlberg slightly more forgiving.
But it’s not just what's on-slope that matters, because in the town of St Anton you'll find a range of fantastic public amenities such as the ARLBERG-well.com centre for all your spa needs. Here, you'll find heated pools, waterfalls, saunas, steam rooms, and massage options.
There's also been a wave of hotel refurbishments and new restaurant openings, plus an impressive concert hall in St Christoph.
The pedestrianised village centre has a bustling, cosmopolitan atmosphere and retains much of the original wooden and stone farmhouse buildings. St Anton's distinctive 17th-century onion-domed church gives the resort a traditional Tyrolean charm. As you would expect, there is also a good selection of shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and accommodation – the resort feels much smaller than you might expect, nothing is too far away.
St Anton is also easily accessible (it's just a one hour drive from Innsbruck) and train transfers are offered from Zurich or Innsbruck Airports - making it a great option for short ski breaks.
