St Anton Ski

A buzzy resort in a splendid location, St Anton lives up to its reputation as the place for big skiing, soft snow and serious nightlife.

Perched up high in the Arlberg region of Austria, St Anton is a delightful mix of old and new architecture with inviting shops lining a pedestrian main street.

We have two chalet hotels in St Anton, the Rosanna in the centre of town which is  adult only outside school holidays, and the Schweizerhof, which is slightly out of town, but still within walking distance in a secluded location.

Although St Anton is best known as a resort for experienced skiers and snowboarders, beginners need not to be deterred as there are nursery slopes in the edge of the village and 34 easier runs to conquer. Intermediates will find plenty of friendly runs across Gampen, Rendl and St Christoph. For a morale boost on perfectly groomed pistes, head over to Lech and Zürs, easily reached by bus.

For those wanting adventure, the high speed Telebenne or Galzig lifts take you from the ski resort centre to the magnificent unpisted bowls and gullies. Also to be enjoyed is the long blast down to Stuben where the chairlifts serve a vast area of uncrowded north facing powder fields.

St Anton comes into its own at night. The party starts early at the infamous Mooserwirt bar. Nestled on the mountain just above the village; it's in a spectacular location. Later, there's an abundance of excellent late night coffee shops, bars, restaurants, discos and live music - sleep will be the last thing on your mind.

If you'd rather relax in the evenings and do something more low key, there's a fabulously stylish spa centre with indoor and outdoor pools.
