The Skiers' Guide to St. Anton am Arlberg

Worked 2 seasons in St Anton.

Loads of longer groovy red/blues with good space to move. Most lifts decent with the exception of horrible 2 man chair you have to get on to get to Warth.

Huge ski area

Unmatched apres

A lack of live music offerings compared to France but atmosphere wise its unbeatable.

Excellent local bus service and train to resort from Innsbruck. Train also goes Zurich, Budapest etc. Which is handy if your traveling minded.

Snow was slightly lacking in December but all slopes were well maintained. Lifts were very quiet and resort was pretty quiet too. Would have prefer to go later in the season so it was slightly busier.

Honestly if you love ski/boarding with your mates this is the place to be with challenging but fun blues and reds and excellent apres ski facilities would highly recommend to anybody who fancies the best of both ski and party life…think of it really like the Ibiza of ski resorts in terms of what to do during the day and night

Had a great time at the resort and is easy to get a bus or taxi to other areas for quieter slopes. Loved the ski show they put on every week in the evening.

Absolutely brilliant resort, 10/10 groomed runs, and Star Wars Valley down to Stuben is a must if you're advanced.

I’m currently doing a ski season in St Anton so I’ve completed nearly 30 days of skiing on the mountain and it’s fantastic! The mountain is massive and you will never run out of runs to do. It is a steep mountain so not great for beginners but great for those who love skiing. We have done a bit of off piste which has had some great powder from January onwards. We love the apres bars and like that there is a range from cheap to expensive. However, not many cafes/bars spread throughout the mountain - I’ve skied in Austria before at Skiwelt Hopfgarten and there were far more cafes spread throughout the mountain which I prefer. St Anton town itself is great - a lot of ski shops (expensive but to be expected in a small ski town) and also lots of great bars to choose from.

One of the best resorts in the world for touring, partying, and posted runs. Covers a vast area of the Arlberg with plenty of skiing for all levels. The new network of lifts connecting to Lech provides a world class playground. Make sure you give yourself time to do the tour of the white ring!

Great all round resort. Vast variety of runs for all skill levels. And plenty of runs to choose from. Nice mountain side bars and restaurants, Apres ski crating great atmosphere. Friendly people and a lovely town of st Anton with lots of accommodation to choose from. Highly recommended.

Epic skiing and Apres perfect for group holidays. Good range of runs and off piste options. Less lift queuing than other Austrian resorts. Definitely my favourite Austrian resort

St Anton was a great snow trip last year. Absolutely made the most of spring with blue birds everyday at the end of much, minimal fresh snow whilst we were there, but enough of a base that it was fun and well groomed / becoming slushy and good for the parks. Multiple good aprés spots and a nice town to eat out in.

Fun resort and good runs for all levels. Really enjoyed the town. Plenty of shops bars and restaurants. Stayed in beautiful chalet. Be carful heading down the hill after crazy Kanguruh

The negative is the blue run back into the village is quite low altitude, is badly cut up early as everyone rushes to apres. We visited in late March and it was extremely slushy. This makes it difficult for beginners.

Awsome apres. Great choice of pistes and linked resorts to visit. Generally pretty quiet slopes. Not being super high it can be icy on some lower slopes.

Fantastic resort with plenty of amazing restaurants up the moutain, in resort and in nearby resorts like Lech.

Apres is amazing especially Mooserwirt and Crazy Kangaroo.

A very lively and fun atmosphere all round

Best Resort in Europe Brilliant Apre Ski Excellent shops and very well informed technicians Excellent choice of restaurants

Loved it here, good skiing and great for groups who want apres too. Great snow quality and lovely town too, can’t wait to visit again

Great staff, friendly environment, lots of hotels, restaurants and bars. food and drink quite expensive but that’s expected. not good for beginners but great for intermediate plus level skiers

When we visited the conditions weren’t amazing due to lack of snow and icy slopes. however, the runs were still pretty good considering and the lifts were fast flowing despite some runs being closed. the food and service in the area was always amazing. the apres was the best i’ve ever experienced

Not sure about the hype of St Anton personally. Nice town with great accommodation but the lift system is a bit dated and small for the volume of skiiers. It's attached to Lech though and the powder bowls over that side are mega.

Apres is for the younger crowds - Krazy Kangaroo was bouncing and rammed full of teenagers drinking Jaeger and bopping to euro-dance music, so if that's your thing go for it.

New years was phenomenal, my partner used the snowboard school which was fab, the routes and views on piste are gorge and all round friendly livy resort. Apres was superb
