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 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.
If beginner make sure you get your lessons and get a guide to go with you to make the experience even better
Fabulous apres ski!
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.
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
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 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.
poor snow when i visited but snow machines keep slopes okay.
