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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The next week is looking very promising for most of the Austrian Alps with lots of snow from the Swiss and French Alps making its way over. Temperature levels seem to be hanging around the -5 to 0 degrees for most of the weekend and slowly creep into the + degrees at the start of next week.
Freezing level drops to 500m over the weekend but then shoots up to 2000m and stays at that altitude from Monday onwards.
High Pressure dominates the weekend and then makes a welcome return on Wednesday and looks as though it is here to stay for a while after.
The most up-to-date avalanche forecasting for Austria is provided at a state level – check out the European Avalanche Warning Services to find the relevant organisation for your destination.
