St. Anton

If you would prefer a hotel, St Anton also has its fair share ranging from 1 and 2 star cosy and comfortable, right up to the more luxurious 4 star establishments.

The apres ski scene here is very lively and is not for the faint hearted. There are a large number of bars which kick off at around 3 p.m. and keep going till the small hours. Bars such as the Heustadl, Senn Hutte and probably the most famous apres ski destination in Europe, the Mooserwirt, are well worth a visit and will certainly get you into the party mood. There are a good selection of restaurants which serve everything from pizza and pasta, to full blown haute cuisine, so there is something to suit everybody's taste and budget.

St Anton has a pedestrian zone where you can find a wide variety of shops for your delight. Here you can find antique shops, jewellers, clothing boutiques, and the obligatory ski equipment outlets. Prices aren't cheap, but this is an exclusive area. Check out the local craft work such as the wood carving, it's a must!

There is a lot going on in St Anton. The Christmas classical concert in the Arlberg theatre is a must. The resort also has 2 ice rinks with ice hockey matches most weekends. If you fancy a bit of an adrenalin rush, then the floodlit toboggan run above Nasserrein will be right up your street. For something slightly more sedate, then why not take a romantic horse drawn sleigh ride through the forest.
St Anton still retains all of its quaint Tyrolean charm and is a great ski resort for all levels and abilities. Its excellent off piste ski runs are some of the best in Europe. In fact, it has something here for everyone. The apres ski scene at the resort is lively to say the least, so if you are one of those people who love being last out of the bar in the evening and first one onto the ski lift in the morning, then St Anton is definitely the place for you.
