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.

Great ski school, well maintained slopes and no long queues at lifts. Really good Apres scene but food not as good as at the French resorts. Not the most beginner friendly resort but plenty of slopes if you are comfortable on a red.

I like off-piste in the trees - not much here. Some general slope side off-piste, but unless you have avalanche gear/training and a guide, the back country is off limits.
Pistes are grand but a bit crowded.
Good beers etc, but I guess the resort is a bit talked up as a Mecca and it was a bit meh…

One of the pricier options in the alps, but worth it. Relaxed atmosphere.
Challenging to get around if lifts close, but that was only one day.
Nice range of slopes. Easy to go on a full day adventure to other resorts. Fantastic landscape.

An incredible resort with a huge selection of trails for any level. Great snow. Incredible apres ski. Quite expensive and accommodation can be hard to find. Stay in St Anton.

Great resort with plenty of slopes. Not an ideal place for beginners, but a great resort for intermediate and expert skiers. Snow wasn’t amazing at the time so no off piste, but if it is covered in snow I can imagine the off piste skiing would be excellent. An expensive resort, even for the alps, but the restaurants serve what you would expect from a ski resort. Gulash soup was amazing! Very well groomed slopes - in places it was amazing what they had done to keep the slopes open despite grass being in sight around the pistes. Would recommend.

Best time of my life. This place is like a mountain range connected with 100 ski lifts during a powder day. There’s no comparing this place to any other. The rain is incredible. And then the Apres Ski is next level. Disco’s staying open till six in the morning.

Easy to access by train from many places - I took a train from Zurich. Fab resort with loads of food options, excellent ski area and hilarious aprés ski. We stayed at Arpuria who do a free shuttle but it’s also an easy downhill walk into town. It’s adults only and has an amazing pool and spa area.

Just the best resort in Europe. Nowhere has the vibe quite like it. Lifts are great too as is the breadth of options.

Fun, sunny groomed runs with great après and mid mountain lunch spots. Many lifts and rarely did multiple runs from one lift in a row which can be complicated for groups to keep themselves organized. Enjoyed skiing to/from different towns. Would recommend taking the train into St Anton

St. Anton is truly one of those ski gems. There is so much terrain available for all levels. Their lift equipment, snowmaking, and trail maintenance are stellar—one of the best of the Alps.

Had an excellent week. Most of the town is less than a 2 minute walk to a lift. Lots of good apres options in the town and near the lifts. Not a great place to do the Run of Fame from but we did it anyway!

Nice resort, the grades of runs are fair (ie in Italy the blacks were only red), fairly well connected to get to Lech, lovely mountain restaurants, St Anton has lots of life & shops, ski hire has been great.

The ski area is huge with a great variety of difficulty the run from the highest point down to st cristoph is possibly my favourite run, just be aware of the home run as it bottlenecks as you head down, if you get the chance to travel to the close by resort of Lech and Zurs they are amazing too.

Really enjoyed my holiday in St Anton. Apres-Ski is brilliant. Resort is also very family friendly and has lots of facilities for both adults and children. The snow coverage wasn’t brilliant overall, but the resort was very quiet and had a large range of slopes available.

The best resort for all round in my opinion. The apres ski is unmatched and it’s one of the only places the nightlife caters to all group sizes e.g. you don’t feel you need to be in a huge group to enjoy.

Really decent resort to visit in March. Premium prices compared to some other options but overall worth it. Most of the group travelled easily from Basel, CH, and one joined from the UK, flying to ZRH.

Epic apres known worldwide. Slopes for everyone, but always busy. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for!
