Brimming with traditional Austrian charm but with all the conveniences of a modern resort, St Anton's vast, high altitude ski area and vibrant atmosphere make it truly world class. It's one of the major international destinations that everyone must visit at least once (and is likely to return to frequently thereafter).

Two minutes from the train station and less than an hour's drive from Innsbruck airport, it's a conveniently accessible resort. The main village is traffic free and stretches for about 1km - dotted with hotels, restaurants, bars and shops to suit a wide range of tastes and budgets.

The long tradition of skiing stems in no small part from the St Anton area. To the amusement of locals, the parish priest in Lech first strapped on a couple of planks in 1895, starting a trend that has held ever since.

The competitive side of skiing is encouraged here, where the first ever ski race took place in 1904. Since the famous Arlberg-Kandahar Race in 1928 it has hosted various championships including the 2001 World Cup. Anyone can participate in the famous White Thrill race, which includes a 9km decent from Valluga. Children aren’t left out either - the ski schools organise weekly races and a slalom competition.

The Arlberg lift pass grants access to an extensive 280km of marked trails, not to mention 180km of fantastic off-piste. 84 lifts, easily accessed from the village transport over 125,000 per hour all over the Arlberg linked domain, which covers St.Anton as well as Pettneu, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs and Klösterle (aka Sonnenkopf). All areas are connected by an efficient (and free) shuttle bus.

With quality pistes, exhilarating powder, world-famous après ski and off-slope activities galore, St Anton has pretty much everything - it's even got a starring role in British Cinema - as the setting of rom-com 'Chalet Girl'.

The nearest airport to St Anton is Munich / München at 250 km or about 3 hours by car.

What is St Anton like for Beginner skiers?

It's often said that if you learn to ski or snowboard here, you're likely to find any other resort an utter breeze... Just don't do a Bridget Jones (her memorable descent in 'Edge of Reason' took place on one of the more challenging Arlberg runs) and make sure to take advantage of the excellent tuition on offer. Thanks to local legend Hannes Schneider, St Anton opened the first ski school in 1921. The Skischule Arlberg continues to provide excellent tuition today, so beginners are in good hands. There's a nursery slope at Nasserein as well as some beginner runs at Gampen. Once your confidence is building, your instructor will direct you to the easiest runs in the area. There are some nice ones in Kapall for snowploughing and the Osthang is a lovely, wide blue.

For intermediates, some quiet reds can be found in the Rendl area. Those with more confidence will enjoy the lengthy run from Schindler Spitze to Rauz, which has over 1000m of vertical

What is St Anton like for Advanced skiers?

This place is an absolute dream for advanced skiers with formidable steeps, mogul fields and awesome off-piste. With lifts now linking with the Lech ski area, the scope of terrain you can experience is immense. The runs from Valluga (particularly on the north face) are incredible and experts must ski the red Kapall, women's downhill run Karl-Schranz and the legendary black Kandahar.

What is St Anton like for snowboarding?

The amazing STANTON Snowpark has a range of jumps, boxes and rails for everyone from beginners to pro’s to enjoy some quality freestyling as well as a funcross and a huge terrace if you prefer to watch the action.

What is St Anton like for off-piste skiing?

What is St Anton like for cross country skiing?

The area also has about 40km of cross-country trails.

It's nice to know that you won’t be left feeling hangry or hopeless during your stay here.

Where to eat in St Anton and on the mountain

Museum Restaurant It’s no surprise this is at the top on many a skier’s list of places to eat in St Anton. This lovely alpine chalet dates back to 1912 and has since starred in cinema hit ‘Chalet Girl’. Learn more about the area in the Museum’s showrooms on the first floor before you enjoy some of St Anton’s best food by the fireplace in the authentic setting of their lovely restaurant.

Amandine Rustling up delicious dishes, taking care of the washing up, and some even providing ski tours and chauffeuring, come the end of the week it’s impossibly hard to part with an Amandine private chef. The key to their success is finding you your perfect match –whether you’d like cuisine with Michelin precision, internationally-influenced fare or hearty cottage pies and club sarnies.

St Anton Après Ski

The après ski here is absolutely legendary: the atmosphere is constantly buzzing and with a night bus running until 3am, you can really make the most of your evening. You'll find about 20 bars offering a variety of scenes, but to experience après ski at its best you can't leave until you've joined the masses and danced on the tables at world-famous Mooserwirt or The Crazy Kangaroo (Krazy Kanguruh). While its reputation is lively (and the resort lives up to it) there are lots of options if you prefer a more sophisticated evening. A new addition, Murrmel offers a stylish lounge bar and nightclub for après ski in a more cosmopolitan setting.

St Anton is a great place to go, it has amazing après ski and is very lively – you can’t go wrong with the Krazy Kanguruh and Mosserwirt. Some slopes are steeper near the resort so maybe it’s not ideal for beginners. + more

The snow was pretty rubbish while we were here (early April) but it looked like there was a lot of potential. I wanted to go off-piste, but the snow wasn’t really good enough. My advice is to go earlier in the season when the snow is better. The lift system was very good, the lifts are fast and efficient, and... + more
