St Anton

St Anton is renowned for its incredible off piste, plentiful snowfall and hard-partying après – and now it is linked to the 306km of slopes that make up the Ski Arlberg it has only got better.

The local slopes around St Anton were previously more than enough to keep most skiers and snowboarders happy.

However, when four new gondolas were built in 2016/17 to link it to the rest of the Ski Arlberg area and the resorts of Lech and Zürs, the options multiplied. It is now part of Austria’s largest linked ski area, is located in one of the snowiest corners of the Alps and has something for everyone – what’s not to like? St Anton is a big resort town, spreading out along the valley. There are accommodation options for most budgets, but the closer you stay to the action and the Galzigbahn, the more expensive your room is likely to be. Après ski is a major attraction here and in the form of Mooserwirt and the Krazy Kangaruh, St Anton has two of the world’s most famous post-skiing bars.

Pros and cons

Fantastic off piste terrain and huge network of ungroomed ski routes
Vast linked area with Lech and Zürs thanks to the Flexenbahn
One of the world’s top ski resorts for après ski
Loads of accommodation to choose from

Some pistes can get dangerously crowded
Not ideal for beginners
Lift system has improved but there are still some bottlenecks
Snow quality can suffer from sun on the lower slopes

On the Slopes

With so many pistes – not to mention the additional 200km of marked ski routes in the region – to explore, you’ll never be short of options. Perhaps only absolute beginners will struggle here, although Nasserein has some decent learner facilities. Intermediates can explore the entire Ski Arlberg via the Flexenbahn, opening up a network of wide and snowsure blue and red pistes. Then for experts the options are so numerous – you’d do very well to cover every route in a season, let alone a week.

For Beginners

This is not an ideal resort for beginners. That being said, the lower village slopes by Nasserein are gentle and offer a decent area for first timers. Progression from this point can be made at Gampen or up on the slopes of Rendl, but this is far from ideal, especially as the slopes can get very crowded. A group with beginners would be better placed to base themselves at Lech or Zürs.

For Intermediates

Timid intermediates may find some of the blues and gentle reds on the Galzig Mountain a little intimidating due to the number of people using them. Confident intermediates upwards however have the entire Ski Arlberg at their disposal – we’d recommend the long runs down from either side of the valley above Stuben – and reaching the far end at Warth-Schröcken is well worth attempting.

For 2024/25, St Anton are launching the Arlberg Run of Fame – a ski circuit to match the likes of the Sella Ronda. 85km of runs – a good mix of blues and reds – sets off from St Anton and takes in all six villages of the Arlberg region before winding its way back into St Anton. Don’t miss out on the Hall of Fame itself at the top of the Flexenbahn.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

St Anton is undoubtedly one of the world’s top resorts for expert skiers and boarders, attracting skiers and riders from around the world every winter. The 200km of marked ski routes are avalanche controlled but are not prepared, so head straight to these when they open on a powder day. There are some epic runs off Valluga and down towards Zürs, but these should be completed with a guide.

In the Resort

St Anton is a busy, bustling resort with a character-filled main street. This traffic-free centre is the heart of the action and is where most people arrive to after a day on the slopes, hence there are some very lively bars – but not quite as wild as the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kangaruh further up the hill – and numerous restaurants. For a quieter stay, there is plenty of affordable accommodation further along the valley – which is connected by a frequent and very efficient bus service.

For Families

There are some great chalets and hotels with a family-friendly reputation, but you may want to base yourself away from the noise of the town centre and closer to the nursery slopes up by Nasserein. The ski schools have a good reputation but the challenging and busy slopes above town may put off absolute beginners.

For Après

The action starts on the home run, with Heustadl the first bar that you pass. Below this the two world-famous après ski bars of Mooserwirt and the Krazy Kangaruh are a must visit – just get ready to dance on the table and prepare your ears for an overload of Austrian club music. Be careful on the way down as the resort run steepens and can be chaotic in the dark. Then down in town, the bars fill up quickly as the slopes empty – Base Camp is a great place to start.

Getting to St Anton

Innsbruck airport is only an hour to the east by car or private transfer, making this one of the Alps’ most accessible resorts. You can also catch a bus to the main station before jumping on a train but expect the journey to take around two hours. Friedrichshafen airport is around an hour and a half away, Memmingen is two hours away, Zürich is half an hour further and Munich is three hours by car from St Anton.

Innsbruck airport: 1 hour (driving) or 2 hours (by public transport)
Friedrichshafen airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
Memmingen airport: 2 hours (driving)
Zürich airport: 2.5 hours (driving)
Munich airport: 3 hours (driving)
Calais: approximately 12 hours driving (590 miles)

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 20/12

The timeline for Christmas week snow is accelerated massively as a huge, dense area of low pressure gets swept in on the Jetstream to cover much of central and northern Europe as the weekend continues. Temperatures will remain cold through this weekend, with a freezing line dropping to 500m on Sunday and, as a result temperatures of -10°C being the norm at 2,000m.

In the west of the region, things will turn slightly bonkers. Sunday snowfall falls as half-a-metre in most places and, instead of drying up as the new week begins, it will continue to fall across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Christmas day), too. A further 45cm can be expected down on Monday and another 30cm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Resorts further east and south may struggle to see this same snowfall, especially on Sunday and into Monday, as it struggles to make the leap over the Main Alpine Ridge. Christmas Eve snowfall, however, will remain excellent across the board, with 40cm expected in these areas.

Expect the avalanche risk to tick up to High or Very High (4 or 5) over the coming days as a result. Unfortunately avalanche.report doesn’t forecast in advance like the French do, so it is difficult to ascertain with any certainty what it might do – however current risk are being reported as persistent weak layers, which can cause ongoing difficulties with avalanche risk associated with new snow. Please check your local forecasts carefully using the links below and plan any backcountry and off piste travel carefully in the coming days.
