Resort Profile For St Anton
A BIG resort where the excitement of the mountain is matched by the buzz of the apres-ski
St Anton ski resort has established itself as one of Europe's premier ski destinations. Situated high in the Arlberg region with 276km of pistes, both locally and linked with Lech and Zurs. You’ll find some of Austria’s most challenging skiing, especially off-piste where a local guide would be a wise investment. The excitement of the mountain is matched by the buzz of the apres-ski. The village has a lively, cosmopolitan feel with a BIG party scene. This said, St Anton retains its Tyrolean charm, with an attractive pedestrianised centre, lined with a good mix of bars and restaurants. Advanced skiers, boarders and confident intermediates will have a ball. However, beginners and less confident intermediates may prefer to stay and ski in Lech, and pop across to St Anton for the evening.
