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.

Absolutely love St. Anton- particularly for Apres!!
The ski area is big with a tonne of blues and reds with some nice blacks too. We didn't go off piste as it was high avalanche risk but I assume it's good. Piste is really well tended and the only run we found mega busy was the main one back into St.Anton/ to Apres.
Loads of really nice restaurants too.
Wouldn't go here as a beginner but for intermediate +, its awesome.

Good for boarders- very fun to play around- though admittedly quite a few flats to get stuck on. Snow quality was low at this time of year but good enough to enjoy.
Fabulous apres ski!

Went for New Years and had an amazing time. There’s a free bus that takes you to and from the hill. There’s also like 500km of runs so you’ll never get bored. Apres scene is insane, such a good experience

One of my favourite resorts in the world. More leaning towards advanced skiers and still options for lower levels. World class speed, particularly the moosenwirt.

Worked 2 seasons in St Anton.

Loads of longer groovy red/blues with good space to move. Most lifts decent with the exception of horrible 2 man chair you have to get on to get to Warth.

Huge ski area

Unmatched apres

A lack of live music offerings compared to France but atmosphere wise its unbeatable.

Excellent local bus service and train to resort from Innsbruck. Train also goes Zurich, Budapest etc. Which is handy if your traveling minded.

Snow was slightly lacking in December but all slopes were well maintained. Lifts were very quiet and resort was pretty quiet too. Would have prefer to go later in the season so it was slightly busier.

Honestly if you love ski/boarding with your mates this is the place to be with challenging but fun blues and reds and excellent apres ski facilities would highly recommend to anybody who fancies the best of both ski and party life…think of it really like the Ibiza of ski resorts in terms of what to do during the day and night

Had a great time at the resort and is easy to get a bus or taxi to other areas for quieter slopes. Loved the ski show they put on every week in the evening.

2nd time in St Anton.
We arrived before a big dump of snow. There had been no show for around 3 weeks. They did a really good job of keeping the slopes nice by making lots of snow. Lucky it was cold.
The area is not great for beginners

You can get the train straight to the resort, which is ideal and much more easy.
The skiing is amazing here, maybe better to come in non peak times (school holidays) as the slopes were busy, but still great snow and slopes.
The apres in Austria tops that in France any day of the week!
Great fun, highly recommend

The best apre ski restort hands down. No one does it better. Plenty of hotel options at varied prices. Lots of places to eat and takeaways if you want to stay locked away in the villa or hotel room. Some of the hotels out of the centre are up some steep hills but the buses run very often and are free so these can be used. Ski area more suited to intermediate / advanced skiers but there are many incredible long runs to enjoy. You will never get bored skiing in st anton due to the size of the area. We have been here multiple times and will keep going back. (Team kangaroo bar!)

That was only my second time skiing in Europe and St Anton was incredible. The powder was amazing the off-piste runs were insanely Wild and the drop-ins were crazy. Amazing scenery and hospitality like no there. Easy to navigate and transit is also easily accessible.

We have been to St Anton many times. It's an amazing ski resort with an absolutely huge ski area. You can go time and time again and still find something new.

The town is beautiful and the people are super friendly and welcoming. The apres ski is AMAZING. The famous Mooserwirt is a total joy if you like it load and lively but there are also plenty of quieter places too.

Eating out on the mountain or in the town is superb. We have never had a bad meal. The Galzig bar is a firm favourite for lunch or dinner. Up the mountains there are some lovely restaurants across the whole ski area and into Zurs and Lech. The more cafeteria style restaurants on Rendl, Galzig and Gampen, whilst less traditional and restaurant like are stll very impressive with huge variety, portions and spectacular views. Get there early (or late) at lunch time to grab a spot on the balcony if the sun is out.

The lifts in the Arlberg area are outstanding, and the pistes are expertly maintained. We've been there late in the season and conditions have still been very good even in warmer weather. Much of this is down to how well they are kept.

There are a huge variety of slopes for all abilities. I guess for beginners it could feel a bit steep but my two children learned here and they have progressed really well. An added bonus is that the nursery slopes are very quiet as the average ability of skiers here is very high so you have plenty of room.

Overall I cannot fault St Anton. It's a brilliant resort and scores highly for everything you'd want for a ski holiday.
