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.

St. Anton has some of the best groomed long runs anywhere around. It also have the most amazing selection of marked and signed off piste "ski-routes" so is perfect for the off piste minded skier.

St Anton does not have the same Après style as many of the resorts in the Alpes, but has a unique blend of flowing rolling mountains allowing incredible off piste touring ability and wide and steep off piste.

The groomed run quality is great in the morning, however many of the main routes do get very bumpy in the afternoon, as there are only a few main runs to the bottom.

Many of the lifts are telecabin style instead of chairlifts, making the resort ideal for snowboarding with ease, but making skiing slightly more tiresome.

Not as massive in terms of ski area compared to somewhere like the three valleys, but for a 4 day trip after heavy snowfall, there's not many places better.

St. Anton is a great place to visit if you want what I look for in a resort. Great slopes and lots of them. Easy offpiste access from lifts. Lots of that aswell. And great afterski and nice places to eat out. Great austrian atmosphere.
All in all a great place which I have visited several times. By the way, if you are new on skis I would pick another place than St. Anton.

Very good resort - loved it. The runs were great and the lists were very quick. The only thing I thought bad was that the food prices in mountain restaurants was extortionate. 40 for a Wiener schnitzel! Thanks.

St Anton is a great resort were you can find amazing terrain on and off piste . The standard of skiing is high with cosmopolitan crowd of people . It is a great leveller people think they can ski until arriving in St Anton .
I have a great passion for skiing and St Anton never fails to deliver
I have the pleasure of skiing off piste with Piste to Powder and found the service first class guides. The mountain restaurant are good and the apres ski is on another level . I feel to get the best out of this resort you need to be of reasonable standard . However its certainly worth going to the excellent ski school which l have been to if you want to improve .

St. Anton is a beautiful resort that caters to many different types of skiers, it offers quiet and gentle blues for beginners, fast reds, not too icy blacks, and SO MUCH beautiful off-piste skiing. The ski area is huge so you are spoilt for choice of where to go. You can easily spend a week here exploring new areas.

The town is brilliant, with lots of choices for restaurants and bars. The apres is brilliant. There is a variety of accommodation ranging from luxury to cheaper options.

What a great resort, Im certain its the best resort for ski and apres, not only great variety in runs but it all seems to funnel back down into the town, witch have some fantastic bars and restaurants.

Mooserwirt and krazy kanguruh where to begin some of if not the best apres in Europe, it has to be experienced. Also sennhütte is a greate restaurant normally have a live band and great food and is just right above mooserwirt.

St anton also has some great connections like st christoph, stuben, zürs and lech witch means you have a lot of fantastic options for some great skiing witch only bolsters its reputation as great must go to resort.

We were five adult males sharing an apartment in St Anton, it was strange we didnt have an oven but had a stove top and microwave. The hill climb to the apartment was gruelling.
We had five days skiing and five days of different conditions, 2 perfectly groomed slopes with sunshine absolutely beautiful scenery. 1 day with most lifts being closed, the lifts ended up very cut up. We had 1 day with low light, low cloud and tough skiing. The last day we had a snow dump and with every lift open we had perfect pow conditions, so much fun it was hard to contain the joy.
The food was delicious in almost every restaurant we ate in, from small mountain top authentic cuisine to town centre steakhouse. As a whole St Anton is a fantastic resort that wed be happy to visit again.

St Anton am Arlberg offers an extensive range of pistes and amazing views.
The ski resort is great for more advanced skiers and boarders due to the choice of red, black and off piste runs is extremely large however, for beginners this can pose a challenge. At the time I went Jan 24 the only way to complete a Talabfahrt included a tricky black run making it near impossible for beginners. The greats selection of slopes allows for an alternative at any level of busyness and weather. In the case that it is very busy the Gampenbahn is only an 5min walk from the main lift and usually a lot quieter. Also I highly recommend skiing to lech for a day it is a challenging and fun ski which can be rewarded with a excellent schnitzel.

First time skiing in Austria and I was very impressed with the slopes and lifts. The grading here is definitely more on the high side compared to France. What would be a black slope in France is a red run here, but that didn't bother us. They also have 'Ski routes' which are marked off piste routes.
Like many resorts the runs back down to town get very busy and chewed up in the afternoon.
The piste map is terrible! You do have to find your way a bit! To reach some areas you have to use cable cars, but they are fast and efficient. The queues were almost non-existent the week we were there in early March.
The apres ski is the reason a lot of people return here every year. The bars near the end of the slope are legendary and have to be seen to be believed! The bars in town are also excellent.
We had a couple of days of snow, so the off piste areas became very popular, very quickly.
I'd definitely come back.

St anton is certainly not for beginners, this resort is hugely popular but due to the narrow nature of numerous pistes is more difficult to ski than majority of French resorts that I have skied previously. The nightlife is absolutely fantastic with two of the best apres ski bars in the Alps in Krazy Kangaroo and Moosewirt which sit slightly above the town and are an absolute must visit! The ski area is large with access to Lechs and other areas although can be difficult if snow conditions are poor and require a bus to get across. The skiing itself is great if you are looking for a challenge and well worth a try!

St Anton is a fantastic town, with access to almost an unlimited amount of runs. If you decide not to ski, but want to join apres, then I recommend to take the #3 bus (which is free) rather than walking up the ski slope.

Very busy but fun resort, great for apre and slightly more advanced skiing.

Althought it is advisable to not take beginners, I did actually learn to ski here and loved it!

Pistes are well groomed, bars are busy, lifts and Qs arent bad at all
