St Anton Am Arlberg ski resort
St. Anton am Arlberg stands proudly among Europe’s top ski destinations, renowned for its vast terrain, vibrant après-ski and authentic charm. The Arlberg ski area boasts over 300km of groomed pistes and 200km of off-piste routes, all seamlessly linked by modern lifts. For seasoned skiers, the Valluga peak delivers unmatched panoramic views and thrilling descents. Intermediates can enjoy groomed red runs like those from Galzig and Kapall too. Although the resort’s more tailored to those with a few trips under their belt, beginners can learn the ropes on the nursery slopes around Nasserein and Gampen. You can also explore neighbouring Lech, Zürs, St. Christoph and Stuben too.
Off the mountain, the adventures continue. Après-ski here is all about sipping on sun terraces, listening to live music and dancing in your ski boots at one of the lively bars. Start the celebrations early at MooserWirt or Krazy Kanguruh, both perched on the slopes above the village. For a slower pace, there are luxury spas, boutique shopping and gourmet dining to enjoy. The Arlberg WellCom Centre offers swimming, saunas and wellness treatments — perfect for soothing tired muscles after a day on the slopes. And when it comes to accommodation, options range from luxury hotels and spa resorts to self-catering apartments.
