St. Anton am Arlberg reviews

Skied for a week with some friends, from intermediate to expert. Due to the enormous crowds on the valley runs, they start having bumps in the early afternoon. Lots of restaurants but many of them large and commercial. The Mooserwirt is a must-see but it's expensive and too big. In the village there are more options for dining out, but better reserve or everything will be full.

• Relatively easy to reach

• Busy, even in the off-season

St. Anton is beloved by many skiers, and the connections to pistes at Lech, Zürs and other neighbouring villages make this the perfect ski resort. The bus shuttles are very organized, slopes are well-groomed and there is a good variety of slopes and modern lifts. The one caveat is the extremely expensive prices for kids' ski lessons - more comparable to prices we will probably be seeing in 2020.

• Versatility of the slopes

• Expensive ski schools

Wonderful ski area, hardly any crowds

• Not crowded
• Guaranteed snow
• Large ski area

Good restaurants, great Apres-ski, Arlberg Wellness center ... St Anton has it all. But since the last 15 years, the atmosphere has become more and more luxurious with less Apres-ski bars. The new lifts Rendl and Galzig are amazing! For a little trip, a day trip (via Stuben) to Lech is a must. Beginners should stay in the valley if they have some guts, they can go anywhere in Arlberg. The only blue slope going back to the valley is often closed so then the only option is the black slope Kandahar.. no kidding there!

• Endless possibilities in terms of slopes and off-piste

• Preparation of the slopes could be better

Amazing slopes, great nightlife and excellent accommodation. A bit pricey but worth it! We stayed here in February 2015. We are three male friends, experienced skiers, and it was great to finally find somewhere with some challenging slopes.

• Nightlife
• Challenging slopes

St. Anton is a super ski resort. Lively pedestrian streets with the best sports shops in Austria. Ski area is particularly suitable for intermediate skiers, I would not recommend going with children and / or beginners. The area is very impressive, what beautiful mountain views. Major drawback (during school holidays): the crowds in the ski resort and the prices (expensive). price

• Cozy resort, good shops
• Large and challenging ski area
• nice atmopshere

• busy
• expensive

We went to St anton in January 14 and the snow was pretty bad! The slopes were well maintained though and we didnt really suffer too much. on the thursday, we had a reasonable dump of powder and we hired a guide to venture off-piste. Apparently the ski touring is excellent here. It seems there were not many kids or beginners around - maybe they go elsewhere! The village itself is pretty and nice to wander around. Plenty of stuff to do at the end of the day - nice apres ski atmosphere with some lively bars but also cozy friendly ones too. A lot of people say St Anton is expensive but we didnt notice a big difference with other austrian resorts...

• good off-piste guides
• nice atmosphere
• reasonable prices for austria

St Anton is just the best ski resort for some real apres action. Was there with a bunch of mates and spent most of our afternoons in either hte Krazy Kangaroo or Mooserwert (sp?) and not sure i have ever witnessed such enthusiastic partying! The noise of music and ski boots clomping on wooden tables (as most people are dancing on them) is deafening but makes for a great atmosphere. OH and BTW the skiing is pretty good too! Can't really give any names of the runs but would def go back again. Beats any French resort in my mind!

• Apres ski
• Apres ski
• oh and great skiing

Can't believe I am the only person to review st Anton on this website - what's wrong with everyone - it's such a great resort for good skiers! I have been there so many times I'v lost count. Don't come to learn to ski here - go to Lech or other swiss resorts. Things have changed a bit in recent years and without sounding like a snob, its all gone a bit down market - sign of the times i guess - recession and all!

• The skiing

• The clientele
• Atmosphere become very commercial
