St. Anton Ski Holidays

St. Anton ski resort is located in the western Austrian Alps, right on the border between Tyrol and the province of Vorarlberg. Within the Arlberg ski area, St. Anton has amazing links to the neighbouring ski areas of Lech, Zürs and Warth-Schröcken offering a wide variety of skiing and Alpine activities in one of Europe’s snowiest locations.

While amazing mountain views can be admired from St. Anton’s resort altitude of 1,305m, the ski area altitude of 2,811m makes it a powder skier’s dream. St. Anton is one of the best high-altitude ski resorts in Europe with an impressive snow record and an extensive network of pistes and lifts.

St. Anton has slopes suitable for all-levels of skiers, but this destination is best suited for intermediate to advanced skiers. If you’re looking for adrenaline ski adventures, this is the resort for you. There is a range of off-piste areas, steep runs and powder-filled slopes to get your skis into, making it ideal for more confident skiers.

If you’re looking for the best powder, gorgeous blue-bird conditions and quiet slopes, St. Anton’s high altitude offers great skiing throughout the season which typically runs from December through to April.

While January proves to be a quieter period with excellent snow and plenty of ski deals on offer, lots of people choose to visit during December for a magical festive experience amidst the mountains.

St. Anton is popular with families and groups meaning that February half-term is often a little busier than usual.

St. Anton offers family-friendly ski holidays with an impressive range of ski schools and ski instructors to choose from. We highly recommend New Generation and Oxygène ski schools which offer fantastic lessons for skiers of all abilities. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, be sure to book your ski lessons in advance to ensure you secure your space.

If you have younger children in tow, St. Anton has two children day care centres at the base of Peak 8 and Peak 9 which offer all-day childcare. The centre at Peak 8 caters for children from two months while the other at Peak 9 caters for children three years old and up. At the latter, care is combined with a ski school programme so children can find their ski legs whilst parents are off exploring the surrounding terrain.

Whether you’re a non-skier or just fancy a break from your skis, there’s plenty of alternative activities to enjoy in St. Anton. Try the 4km toboggan run from Gampen to Nasserein or some snowshoeing following marked winter walks. The resort also has a state-of-the-art sports centre with a swimming pool, climbing wall and tennis courts.
