Luxury Chalets in St Anton

Despite its expansion over the years, St Anton has managed to preserve its authentic Tyrolean charm. The resort's heart is the pedestrianised Dorfstrasse, lined with hotels, shops, bars, and restaurants. Luxury chalets in St Anton are typically situated a bit further out, with some of the most opulent rentals located in the Nasserein neighbourhood.

Ideal for corporate gatherings, wedding parties, or family reunions, The Lodge @ 47 is just a two-minute walk from the Nasserein ski lift. Another popular choice for large groups is Chalet Eden Rock. Although slightly further from the lift, Chalet Lena and Chalet Artemis are two of our favourite catered chalets in St Anton.

For those seeking a ski-in/ski-out St Anton chalet, Chalet Tschoder boasts an enviable location on the edge of the piste leading to the Nasserein lift. At the other end of the village, Villa Villekulla offers another ski-in option. For self-catered ski-in/ski-out accommodation, consider one of the four beautiful apartments in Chalet Fabiola: Penthouse, Big Tom, Rendl, and Galzig.

The most convenient area to stay is near the main street, just a short stroll from the primary ski lifts (Gampenbahn, Galzigbahn, and Fangbahn). For families, we recommend Chalet 53, located at the quieter end of the main street.

To the west of the lifts, the village extends up the hill toward the Arlberg Pass through Oberdorf and Gastig. These areas are home to several charming chalets, including Kikombe Lodge and Chalet Bluebird, both within a short walk or drive from the lifts and village centre.

St Anton’s reputation as one of Austria’s great ski resorts precedes it. Its magnificent ski area, short transfer time from Innsbruck, and charming, walkable centre filled with shops and cafés have earned it a loyal following of keen skiers and party-goers.

Luxury Ski Holidays in St Anton

St. Anton am Arlberg, often hailed as the cradle of alpine skiing, rose to fame through the pioneering work of Hannes Schneider, who developed the "Arlberg technique" and founded the first ski school in the 1920s. The region's ski tourism began in the 19th century, but it truly flourished in the 20th century with Schneider's innovations and the advent of ski lifts.

Today, St Anton is celebrated as one of Europe’s snowiest ski areas, offering an impressive 305 km of prepared pistes and numerous patrolled itineraries, making it a top destination for off-piste skiing enthusiasts. As part of the expansive Arlberg ski area, St Anton ski resort is connected to the resorts of Lech, Zürs, St Christoph, Warth and Schröcken, providing a diverse range of terrain to explore.

In our view, St Anton is a resort best suited to strong intermediates and experts. Pistes classified as blues here, would often be rated as reds in other resorts, making it extremely challenging for true beginners. Those making their first turns might find a luxury ski holiday in Lech more enjoyable, where the slopes are gentler and more beginner-friendly.

The village of St. Anton comprises several suburbs and amalgamated hamlets, creating a large, linear-shaped resort. The pedestrianised centre is rich in traditional Alpine character and buzzes with activity both day and night. St. Anton's reputation as a leader in the après-ski scene is well-deserved, with the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh bars on the slopes being among the most popular spots for revelry.

Beyond skiing, St. Anton offers a variety of attractions. If your luxury chalet in St. Anton lacks a spa, the Arlberg WellCom is a fantastic alternative, providing a relaxing retreat with indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, treatment rooms and more. For more active pursuits, the arl.park is a great option, featuring an indoor climbing wall, trampoline hall, squash court, and bowling alley.

Christmas is an especially magical time to rent a luxury chalet in St. Anton. The festive season brings the village to life with a charming trail where you can visit rustic cabins, listen to stories and poems recited in the local dialect, or join handicraft sessions at the elves' workshops. Don’t miss the life-size nativity scene at the Mühltobel Gorge or the traditional Christmas market. Among the winter season's highlights is the “White Thrill,” a legendary 9 km ski race in April that challenges skiers and snowboarders to their limits and the Tanzcafé Arlberg Music Festival.

St Anton is one of my personal favourites for its energy and charm. The sheer variety of the terrain here is incredible, from the legendary Valluga runs to hidden off-piste gems that make every day an adventure. After a day on the slopes, the atmosphere in town is unbeatable. There’s nothing quite like ending the afternoon at MooserWirt or Krazy Kanguruh!

Top 5 Winter Activities in St Anton

Despite being renowned for incredible off-piste skiing, not to mention the buzzing apres-ski parties, this lively resort also offers a host of alternative activities for skiers and non-skiers to enjoy. Below are our top 5 picks of ways you can experience St Anton in winter.

St Anton Ski Resort Information

Resort Altitude: 1304m
Slopes Altitude: 1304 - 2811m
Pistes: 305 km
Lifts: 87

St Anton is part of the Arlberg region, which includes the villages of St Anton am Arlberg, St Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth, and Schröcken. Skiers in St Anton have access to over 300 km of marked slopes and 200 km of off-piste trails, making it a prime destination for winter sports enthusiasts.

St Anton’s local slopes are divided into three main sectors. The first, Kapall-Gampen, is easily accessed from the village via a four-seater chairlift that takes you to the Gampen mid-station. From there, a second chairlift ascends to Kapall at an altitude of 2,330m.

The Galzig sector, linked to Gampen, can be accessed either at village level or higher up the mountain. A cable car from Galzig provides access to the renowned Valluga area and you can also ski down to the village of St Christoph, with a recommended stop for lunch at one of our favourite restaurants, Hospiz Alm.

The final sector, Rendl, is located on the opposite side of the village. Reached by gondola, this area is generally quieter, but keep in mind that the only way back to St Anton is via a red run (or by taking the gondola).

While St Anton offers excellent ski schools, beginners may find it challenging to progress here. The best area for first-timers is around Nasserein, with its nursery slopes and magic carpets. However, once you have mastered these slopes, there are relatively few easy blues to move on to, aside from those around the Gampen mid-station.

For confident intermediate skiers, St Anton has plenty to offer. However, those who are more cautious may find the resort challenging, as easier runs are often isolated, requiring careful planning to avoid more difficult sections. Some of the most suitable pistes include the blues on Rendl above the mid-station and the long 64 blue run down to St Christoph. It's advisable to avoid Steissbachtal, the main blue run back to St Anton from Galzig, which is known for its mogulled terrain and end-of-day crowds.

True intermediates will find plenty of options across all sectors, including the fast reds down from Albonagrat to St Christoph and the leg-testing run from the top of Valluga down to St Anton.

St Anton truly shines for expert skiers and boarders, offering a wide range of advanced red and black slopes, including the steep Fang piste below Gampen and the Kandahar black run in the Galzig area. However, St Anton's reputation among advanced skiers is largely built on its off-piste opportunities. The steep, untouched powder fields of Mattun and the Valluga North Face are particular highlights but should only be attempted with an experienced guide.

Freestylers will find entertainment at the Stanton terrain park, which ranks among the top three snowparks in Europe. The park offers sections for all skill levels, including Proline, Medium Kickerline, and Jibline, with features like kickers, pipes, rails, and boxes.

It has its own beach bar and a relaxed menu to match.

As the sun sets, St Anton’s culinary offerings continue to impress. Skiing Buddah offers a laid-back Thai dining experience, ideal for those looking for a casual evening meal beyond the traditional mountain cuisine.

For a taste of Spain, Bodega serves up tapas and red wine in a cosy setting. For fine dining, the Hazienda Restaurant at the m3 Hotel provides an elegant atmosphere, while Ooben im Moose at the Mooser Hotel and the Museum Restaurant both offer gourmet cuisine that’s perfect for a special night out.

For something more intimate, Alpin Gourmet Stube at Hotel Gletscherblick is an excellent choice for a small celebration or private party.

Après-ski in St Anton is nothing short of iconic with Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh leading the charge. Located on the blue Galzig piste leading down to town, these venues draw in the crowds with table-top dancing, cheesy music and copious amounts of beer and Jägermeister. Taps is another popular spot for après with a resident DJ from 3pm.

If this isn’t quite your scene, then you’ll find a more relaxed vibe at Anton Bar at the base of the Galzig gondola. In the Nasserein area, Fanghouse is an inviting spot for coffee, drinks and snacks, whilst Kellar Bar offers a cosy, rustic cellar setting with live music. Giggls is a favourite of ours, perfect for enjoying coffee, cake and cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. For late-night action, Murmel's is a small yet lively venue known for its delicious burgers and vibrant live music scene.
