St. Anton Ski Holidays

“World-class skiing, legendary freeride terrain and fantastic après-ski”

St. Anton am Arlberg is one of the world's great ski destinations and the beating heart of the Ski Arlberg region — Austria's largest lift-linked ski area. Renowned for its challenging terrain, outstanding snow record and legendary après-ski, St. Anton is a must-visit for confident skiers and snowboarders seeking adventure both on and off the slopes.

Modern lifts seamlessly connect St. Anton with Stuben, Lech, Zürs and Warth-Schröcken, creating an impressive network of 305 kilometres of pistes and countless off-piste opportunities. Combined with excellent snow reliability and spectacular mountain scenery, the Ski Arlberg region offers some of the finest skiing anywhere in the Alps.

The resort itself blends traditional Tyrolean charm with a sophisticated, international atmosphere and stylish hotels, excellent restaurants, boutique shops and lively bars line the attractive village centre. St. Anton is a premium destination with most hotels accepting week-long bookings and remains one of the most sought-after ski holiday destinations in Austria for those looking for world-class skiing and vibrant nightlife.

On the Mountain 

While beginners will find dedicated learning areas close to the village, St. Anton is best known for its superb terrain for intermediate, advanced and expert skiers. The Ski Arlberg region offers endless opportunities to explore, with long cruising runs, challenging black pistes and spectacular mountain itineraries.

Confident skiers can spend days discovering famous routes such as the ‘Run of Fame’, an epic 85-kilometre ski safari linking the resorts of Ski Arlberg, or the scenic ‘Der Weisse Ring’ circuit above Lech and Zürs.

St Anton is a freeride mecca and there are countless off-piste itineraries from legendary descents off Valluga to countless bowls, couloirs and ski routes. Hiring a qualified local mountain guide is highly recommended, not only for safety but also to discover the area's best snow and hidden terrain.

The quieter Rendl sector provides a welcome contrast to the main ski area, offering beautifully groomed pistes, the excellent Stanton Snowpark, Rendl Beach and good ski touring opportunities. Nearby Stuben and Sonnenkopf are also well worth exploring for their quieter slopes and outstanding snow conditions.

Off the Mountain 

St. Anton's après-ski is legendary and ranks among the very best in the Alps. Each afternoon, the celebrations begin on the slopes at iconic venues such as MooserWirt and Krazy Kanguruh just above the resort. It’s a short ski down from there and the resort centre has a huge selection of bars, pubs and clubs rubbing shoulders with restaurants offering everything from tapas, steaks, sushi and Thai to more traditional fare.

For a more relaxed evening, head to St Anton’s stylish Wellness centre, Arlberg WellCom, which features an extensive spa area, swimming pools, gym, tennis, relaxation areas and treatment rooms. Other winter activities include bowling, indoor climbing, ice skating, horse-drawn sleigh rides and scenic winter walks.
