Skiing

St Anton sits at 1,300 metres and forms the heart of the vast Arlberg ski area, one of the largest and most celebrated ski regions in the Alps. Joined by the villages of St Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth and Schröcken, the area offers over 300 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes linked by state-of-the-art cable cars and gondolas ascending to 2,800 metres, alongside 200 kilometres of marked off-piste trails. The Arlberg's reputation for high annual snowfall makes it one of the most reliably snow-sure destinations in Austria, ensuring exceptional conditions throughout the season for skiers of every ability.

For those seeking terrain beyond the piste, St Anton delivers some of the finest off-piste skiing in the world. Vast open bowls, challenging couloirs and untouched powder fields reward those who venture beyond the marked runs, ideally accompanied by an expert local guide who knows these mountains intimately. The experience is as exhilarating as it is humbling, set against a backdrop of dramatic Alpine scenery that few resorts can rival.

Advanced skiers in pursuit of something truly exceptional will find the Arlberg region uniquely placed, as it is the only area in Austria where heli-skiing is permitted. Guests are flown to remote, high-altitude slopes rarely accessed by other means, offering the incomparable sensation of descending vast fields of untracked powder in absolute silence. Whether carving groomed runs beneath the Valluga or exploring the region's legendary off-piste, St Anton consistently rewards with a skiing experience that is second to none.
