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.

We have been skiing as a group of friends with a guide in St Anton for years. There is amazing off piste skiiing that you don' have to hike miles to find and some fabulous bars and restaurants at the end of them. The variety of terrain and scenery is incredible with so many different resorts all linked by a lift system but also connected through off piste routes. The Apres Ski is nearly as challenging as the skiing with some world famous bars playing 80s music and everyone dancing on the chairs and tables. AS great way to stretch and warm down after a hard day on the slopes.

Transfers from Innsbruk are very simple, straight and take about an hour. You literally pull off the motorway into the resort.

Accommodation is generally pretty good. Arriving later is a challenge as restaurant close quite early.

The lift system is good and quick. It can take a little time to get to to a height where you are skiing the main runs.

On piste restaurants are good with large catering options on the hill or down in the resorts such as St Christoph.

Apres ski is fun and caters for different options: youthful, families, oldies.

A great fun place with lots of skiing options

Wthout doubt one of the best off piste terrains in Europe if you are happy with using skins. Off piste close to the lifts gets tracked very quickly as many good skiers.

the ten interconnecting resorts can be skied in one day for over 100km of skiing.

Reknown for its apres ski, but really its range of skiing is quite phenomenal.

Great lift system and if you are going at half term - take the single skier lane - you will fly through the lifts.

Only down side is if you are a relatively new skiers as the final runs into the resort can get very crowded (at peak times) unless you go off piste. Definitely one of the best resorts in Europe

Best views and slopes. Could get busy at choke points so traffic could be managed slightly better. Great powder.

St Anton is a busy, and sometimes, hectic resort. Ski facilities are excellent, having boot warming overnight facilities at the bottom of the slope. The bars and apres ski is fantastic, not cheap (what is in a ski resort), but great fun.
The off-piste and advanced ski runs are excellent, however, intermediate runs are also excellent. Beginners are not well catered for.
Runs back into St. Anton can get pretty busy at the end of the day. However, this is a great resort, possibly my favorite, holding excellent memories for myself and my late wife, Tina, and our friends.

Enjoy it.

Not great for beginners as there are very few easy runs (no green runs) but excellent for advanced skiers with a large area to explore.

Had the sharp edges knocked off.

St Anton used to be the place where the extreme skiers skied hard all day and partied harder every evening but in the last decade it has been gentrified. The unlisted itineraries that made the White Ring a challenge have been tamed, the nightclubs in town are now lady friendly coffee shops, and the Mooserwirt is now an Instagrammers selfie station and so rammed it is impossible to move.

Progress perhaps, but I think Anton has lost its charm in the process

Amazing resort part of the Arlberg region which includes Lech, Zurs, Stuben and St Christophe. Good tip take the bus from St Christoph to a wonderful quiet resort Sonnenkope (also part of your Arlber lift pass).
Very good public transport and the train station in right in the middle of town with connections to Zurich or Innsbruck.
We traveled by train from the UK so got a 7th day of skiing in!

St. Anton is one of my favourite ski resorts in the world. The amount of groomed terrain you have access to in the arlberg region. It also boasts some of the best apres bars in the world even allowing on piste partying. Every skier/snowboarder should go at least once.

I went to St. Anton when I was a bit of a novice skier, with friends whose skills were both above and below mine, and we all had an amazing time. It was an incredible week and helped me improve immensely, and whenever anyone mentions Austrian skiing I cant help brag that I went there. Apres at Moosewirt and KKs are also obviously world renowned and certainly worth going to St. Anton for alone. Highly recommend

An excellent resort for skiers who have reached an intermediate level. There are not many easy easy beginner slopes. Theres a wide range of slopes all the way to Lech and Zurs. The moose and the krazy kangaroo are great for Apres ski as well as places in the town centre. Brilliant ski show every Wednesday too. Accommodation js expensive but can find cheaper places a short bus ride out of the town in places like Flirche. Overall fantastic resort.

Great resort, I loved it as a snowboarder. But maybe not the most beginner friendly resort. Only a few slopes suitable for new skiiers.

I have been going to St. Anton every year since I was 4, it is amazing to see how the resort has development in the last 20 years with constant new lifts opening & amazing facilities including a swimming pool & a train station. The restaurants and bars up and down the mountain are world class & the ski schools cater to all levels brilliantly. My favourite place in the world, I cant ever imagine saying goodbye to St. Anton

I spend a full 6 months here pre Brexit.

The town is quite well known for its party scene, the apres is insane boasting the oldest apres bar in the Alps(mooservirt) think German/Austrian drinking songs and steins dancing in tables.

Skiing here is a little more advanced I found. You have access to ski all the way over to lech which is a good day out, you can get the bus back to st Anton Inc with your ski pass.

Being an actual town first and secondly a ski location you find a lot of character, it's a beautiful traditional looking Austrian alpine town. Some great local restaurants like underground on the piste. Plenty of bars and clubs all mostly on the main street through the town. Lifts are all a short walk away from accommodation.

Plenty of ski schools for kids and family friendly options.

Highly recommend the resort

Skiing in February - slopes in the morning are great, we'll groomed and up top lush powder. As the sun beats down on the slopes the powder becomes slush and chop and the runs get harder and harder on the legs. There's a black or a narrow blue back to town, the black is chop and mogul at this point, but the blue is overcrowded with bad visibility. At the beginning of the season this would have been great, however mid-season by the end of the week grass is visible on the lower slopes and snow cannons are the only way to get any routes back into town, but sometimes it's not cold enough over night. Once you're back in town wow, 2 legendary Apres bars and bluebird skies, now I'm not complaining too much as I'm sweating with a cold stein listening and dancing to cheesy euro-trash which accompanies the Austrian apres ski so well, arguably more fun than the anglosized music from the French alps.
