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 is a fantastic ski holiday destination. The ski area is huge, not over crowded with great areas of off piste! Our group loved the Austrian food - we ate out for lunch and dinner a few times. There are lots of apres-ski bars to try and we just about got round them all! Loved every minute of it - would 100% recommend this resort

St. Anton at its own is a pure powder paradise. For Freeride its perfect. The snow over the winter is most of the the time really light and good for deep pow. With the chairlift you reach a lot of powder runs without walking higher at the top. One Problem here is that some chairlifts are a bit old and slow.
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

Im currently spending my second full season here in St Anton am Arlberg, and I must say that this place is paradise for young people. Endless possibilities for free riding and the best apres ski in the world. My first season was spent mostly snowboarding and my second has up until now mostly been spent skiing. I can tell you this resort accommodates both sports fantastic! There are very few long traverses so you never feel bogged down as a snowboarder. The groomers on this resort however leave a little bit to be desired. They are not in any way bad, however they can be a quite narrow and short this in difference to a lot of other European resort.

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!

Great area to explore. Getting back to st anton only possible on a black this year as blue 55 closed for long period creating havoc. Bus links to lech also. Pretty town.

St Anton has everything you could ask for for a ski resort. The runs are plentiful and perfect, the resort in general is family friendly and yet also has that Aprés vibe you dont find anywhere else.
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.

World renowned for its après ski and advanced terrain, this is one Austrian resort not to miss!

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!

Incredible variation of ski runs, we were able to go over to Lech and st Christoph within a few hours. Really good snowfall despite going late March 2023. The restaurant options were varied, and the night life was also incredible with live music. The highlight was the Aprés Ski, Krazy kangaruh to be specific lived up to the expectations. Would highly recommend if you are not on a super tight budget.

Ive been to St Anton on holiday and also done a ski season out there. With the lifts and infrastructure you can cover a lot of ground in a day and ski a real mixture of runs.
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.

Would fully recommend to anyone looking to Ski.
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 resort with a wide expanse of runs for all levels of rider, nice freestyle park but was lacking some intermediate features. All slopes were nicely groomed and the off piste was nice at the top but was lacking snow near the bottom when I went.

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

Plenty of runs available and the town itself is nice, they have a huge spa in town that's nice to visit. Apres was touted as the best in Europe, it was good but France is much better in my opinion.

All in all a great resort for skiers and boarders of all abilities. Expansive groomed terrain, some decent mogul fields, and although I didn't use the myself, some great looking terrain parks.

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.

Always a good time in St Anton. There are some great expeditions along the valleys to Lech, Warth etc. but also lots to explore locally. Big fan of Rendl. I didn't understand the appeal of apres until I came here - it's another level! I'm Krazy Kanguruh over Mooserwirt but both are awesome.
