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.

The slopes for the people who dont want to go off pist are every day new shaped and varied. Some black runs and some red and for the family some blue runs.
With the new Flexenbahn a connection is build to Zürs, where you can ski a lot more slopes. The Advantage of this connection is that, the resort is very big and most of the time you do not need to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes at the chairlift
Moving on to the apres ski, St Anton really shines! With legendary spots such as Krazy Kanguruh and Mooserwirt almost as famous as the resort itself. These places never disappoint. Open until 20:00 they give you a unique apres ski experience unlike any other in Europe.
Dining out in St Anton is also very good! Consisting of both high end steakhouses such as Hazienda and more traditional Austrian restaurants such as Fuhrmans Stube this village truly has it all! Whatever kind of food youre into, its there!
I would however say that St Anton am Arlberg is definitely a resort more catered towards young people and couples than families. The skiing can be quite challenging at times and the weather here is not as forgiving as in other places in Europe.
In closing I would say that St Anton is a perfect resort for the kind of people who like to go hard both while skiing and on the apres ski! This is definitely a place worth visiting!
Will hopefully be back
There is plenty of skiing to be done here and plenty of options from off piste to on.
Definitely more of a beginners ski resort but one that even the most experienced skiers will struggle not to enjoy.
With a great selection of pistes, and a large ski area, theres plenty to test even the most advanced skiers. Then for apres ski, bars like the legendary Mooserwirt are in a league of their own.
Not the best resort for families or beginners, but by god its good fun!
Its great for mixed ability, half terms are always very busy so I would avoid going at this time.
Some lovely long blue runs such as blue 100 for beginners to intermediates.
The apres is the best Ive experienced! Live music at Keller Bar is always a fun night and apres on the mountains at Krazy Kanguruh is next level!
Lovely spots on the mountain for food but also towards the end of the season take a picnic with you and there are some lovely picnic spots with incredible views, especially towards St Christoph! Cant wait to go back.
While the apres scene and restaurant choices are amazing its a fairly small resort for those not skiing.
A short trip from the airports (in comparison to others in the Alps) and plenty of slopes to explore. Would advise more experienced skiers over those on their first trip
Highlight would be the apres and nightlife scene!
Amazing après ski and dinner options a personal favourite is the Krazy kangaroo.
The ski arlberg shops had friendly staff and a wide selection of gear to rent / buy
As you might expect from an Austrian resort, the lift system is wonderfully efficient, with few queues to be found anywhere.
The resort town itself was excellent with good accommodation, food, and apres options, again something to suit every tastes, from families to party animals.
