What Skiers Say About St. Anton am Arlberg

St. Anton attracts predominantly advanced and expert skiers, with multiple reviewers noting it is not well-suited for beginners due to steep terrain and limited easy runs. The après-ski scene, particularly venues like Mooserwirt and Krazy Kangaroo, is the most consistently praised aspect across reviews. The ski area is described as vast and well-connected to Lech and Zürs, with well-groomed pistes and modern lift infrastructure. Reviewers frequently mention high prices for accommodation, food, and general expenses. Several users note that late-season or low-snow conditions lead to icy slopes and challenging conditions on lower-altitude runs, particularly the home run into town.

A fun resort for 20-40s, loads of apres ski options and an easy resort to get around on foot.

The mountain can be quite affected by mixed weather and home runs are often closed/challenging due to excess use or poor snow.

It is a massive, varied ski area - worth getting a full area pass for more experienced skiers if youre staying more than a couple of days.

This is a resort to visit now, as in 30 years itll probably look very different due to climate change.

As an advanced skier I found this resort a good challenge, not incredibly hard but also not the easiest runs.
Amazing facilities with the ski lifts and well maintained slopes
The apres ski scene here is incredible with a few great options on the slope and at the base.
I would highly recommend this resort and I will definitely be visiting again

A great resort that is the best in the world for Apres. There are some amazing mountain restaurants and the town is also filled with great restaurants and bars. The accommodation options are good and its generally better priced than resorts in France. Trees, off piste and long sweeping runs make this resort friendly for beginners and experienced alike

The speed and quality of the lifts were second to none. The amount of terrain to ski was something Ive never experienced before. The views were top-notch. And the after parties and apres ski were so dang fun. Booked again for 2025.

Great resort biggest problem was lack of piste machine and chaos trying to get down to the village at the end of the day. But fun resort and well connected to other resorts for cross resort skiing

Infinite amount of powder off-piste terrain. Fast and comfortable lifts and gondolas. Amazing and affordable apres-ski, music and drinks. One of the best resorts I've ever been.

We had the best week in St. Anton over Christmas. The village feels very Austrian and there are many places to eat that included genuine local food (not just overly Americanised food that you get at other resorts.) transport was great with free buses within the town and connecting to other parts of the ski area. There are many winter hikes that are achievable from the town which were gorgeous. The Christmas markets near the museum were spectacular, very traditional with big open fires. Finally, the skiing itself was great, we had plenty of powder due to the favourable weather conditions. I would say the runs are on the more difficult side, with many blue runs being closer to reds within other resorts (due to steepness and mogul presence mainly). Resort is well run though, minimal lines at lifts and everyone was very friendly. Huge skiable area and cannot wait to return!

A genuinely brilliant resort that offers a wide array of pisted and off-piste skiing across a large area and many mountains. The Ski Routes are numerous and offer great tree skiing and 'off-piste' in good snow conditions. Something on offer for every type of skier. Aprés is lively and varied. Resort is more on the expensive side for food, drink, and accomodation.

Absolutely love this resort, have been coming here for many years. The skiing is amazing, however slopes are steep so wouldnt recommend for a beginner. Apres ski is not to be missed here with the Mooserwirt being top pick!

Amazing resort for more experienced skiers/ snowboarders, in a huge ski area with plenty of accessible off piste. The lifts are nice and efficient, with the older lifts being regularly upgraded. Easily some of the best apres in Europe. Only downsides are that theres not much for beginners and accommodation tends to be very expensive.

Huge ski area with something for everyone from beginners to advance, from peiste skiers to off peiste and park rats. Well connected areas and new lifts/signed slopes make it an enjoyable place to ski. Can't say much wrong about the place!

Incredible resort - high quality skiing, beautiful scenery and great apres!

Lots of great skiing for skiers with a bit of experience and upwards. Not an abundance of easy beginner runs but all abilities will be just fine. If the snow is good theres some great off piste and technical stuff of the Valuga lift!

Theres also an incredible long blue run through the valley!

A great all round resort, especially now the liaison with Lech/Zurs is in place. Wide variety of fantastic runs (probably better tailored to intermediate/advanced), the best apres ski in Europe, and great accommodation in a beautiful town. All little over an hour away from Innsbruck Airport.

After years of skiing the Austrian and French Alps, we always come back to St Anton. Delivers on every front, but excels itself at Apres. Just the best resort bar none! Great piste skiing too.
