Brimming with traditional Austrian charm but with all the conveniences of a modern resort, St Anton's vast, high altitude ski area and vibrant atmosphere make it truly world class. It's one of the major international destinations that everyone must visit at least once (and is likely to return to frequently thereafter).

Two minutes from the train station and less than an hour's drive from Innsbruck airport, it's a conveniently accessible resort. The main village is traffic free and stretches for about 1km - dotted with hotels, restaurants, bars and shops to suit a wide range of tastes and budgets.

The long tradition of skiing stems in no small part from the St Anton area. To the amusement of locals, the parish priest in Lech first strapped on a couple of planks in 1895, starting a trend that has held ever since.

The competitive side of skiing is encouraged here, where the first ever ski race took place in 1904. Since the famous Arlberg-Kandahar Race in 1928 it has hosted various championships including the 2001 World Cup. Anyone can participate in the famous White Thrill race, which includes a 9km decent from Valluga. Children aren’t left out either - the ski schools organise weekly races and a slalom competition.

The Arlberg lift pass grants access to an extensive 280km of marked trails, not to mention 180km of fantastic off-piste. 84 lifts, easily accessed from the village transport over 125,000 per hour all over the Arlberg linked domain, which covers St.Anton as well as Pettneu, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs and Klösterle (aka Sonnenkopf). All areas are connected by an efficient (and free) shuttle bus.

With quality pistes, exhilarating powder, world-famous après ski and off-slope activities galore, St Anton has pretty much everything - it's even got a starring role in British Cinema - as the setting of rom-com 'Chalet Girl'.

What is St Anton like for Beginner skiers?

It's often said that if you learn to ski or snowboard here, you're likely to find any other resort an utter breeze... Just don't do a Bridget Jones (her memorable descent in 'Edge of Reason' took place on one of the more challenging Arlberg runs) and make sure to take advantage of the excellent tuition on offer. Thanks to local legend Hannes Schneider, St Anton opened the first ski school in 1921. The Skischule Arlberg continues to provide excellent tuition today, so beginners are in good hands. There's a nursery slope at Nasserein as well as some beginner runs at Gampen. Once your confidence is building, your instructor will direct you to the easiest runs in the area. There are some nice ones in Kapall for snowploughing and the Osthang is a lovely, wide blue.

For intermediates, some quiet reds can be found in the Rendl area. Those with more confidence will enjoy the lengthy run from Schindler Spitze to Rauz, which has over 1000m of vertical

What is St Anton like for Advanced skiers?

This place is an absolute dream for advanced skiers with formidable steeps, mogul fields and awesome off-piste. With lifts now linking with the Lech ski area, the scope of terrain you can experience is immense. The runs from Valluga (particularly on the north face) are incredible and experts must ski the red Kapall, women's downhill run Karl-Schranz and the legendary black Kandahar.

The area also has about 40km of cross-country trails.

A new addition, Murrmel offers a stylish lounge bar and nightclub for après ski in a more cosmopolitan setting.

Our family chalets are the ideal base for a ski holiday – and with chalets being hard to find in other Austrian resorts, our properties in St Anton make a great choice for a traditional Austrian ski experience. Large chalets and chalet hotels like Chalet Adler and Chalet Hotel Schweizerhof have lovely communal dining and living areas where children can make friends and play while grown-ups enjoy other adult company. We also have smaller chalets if you prefer to book somewhere with sole occupancy and a range of hotels with excellent childcare facilities as well as swimming pools, spas and on-site bars where grown-ups won’t have to leave the property to enjoy a few drinks.

Book your family accommodation with flights and transfers for the easiest way to get to the mountains or opt for a package with channel crossings if you prefer to self drive. Accommodation-only deals are also available - just select ‘Independent travel’ in your search below.

St Anton actually had the world’s first ski school and the fantastic schools here today maintain the resort’s extremely high standards, so if you’re taking your family to the mountains for the first time, rest assured they’re in excellent hands. Ski School Arlberg teaches children as young as 3 in fun and safe environments with fairytale playgrounds and magic carpets in St Anton, St Christoph and Nasserein. They also provide courses for teens who can learn to carve, race and freestyle and experience deep snow. Märchenwiese is a lovely gentle meadow for learners and there are some brilliant routes for the whole family to enjoy together around Nasserein.

Childcare is available in the Kindergarten for any children too young to ski – ask us about which accommodation has childcare that you can book with your holiday. Enjoy quality time together off the slopes in the sports and wellness centre, bowling alley, on the floodlit sledding slope or on a horse-drawn sleigh ride.

St Anton is a super resort for groups, with a variety of terrain and accommodation to suit everyone as well as legendary après ski. Our ski chalets are really popular for group holidays – find somewhere that sleeps the same amount of people as your group and you can enjoy sole occupancy. Chalet Arlhof is a lovely old hunting lodge offering a traditional Tyrolean setting for up to 8 guests and the Mountain Lodge chalets like Chalet Gampen provide a more modern but equally as cosy setting for groups of 8-10. Hotels also work well for groups, where you can book single, twin, double, family or superior rooms to suit everyone’s needs and join together for dinner and drinks in on-site restaurants, bars and lounges. Hotel Alte Post boasts a conveniently central location, only a couple of minutes walk to the ski lift. If you’re deliberating whether to go for a chalet or hotel, book the best of both worlds with somewhere like Chalet Hotel Rosanna, which is right next to Scotty’s bar for groups wanting to party.

Large hotels and chalets with a number of rooms are ideal if you think others might want to join your group later down the line. For the ultimate St Anton getaway, pick one of our cream-of-the-crop 4 and 5 star hotels and superior chalets and enjoy excellent service and wellness facilities on a luxury ski holiday. Ski in / ski out accommodation and properties near ski lifts and the slopes are ideal for keen skiers and snowboarders who want to get straight out onto the snow. Choose somewhere near the ski school meeting point if any of your group are taking lessons. If it’s proximity to the après you’re after, we have some brilliant hotels and chalets in the town centre near to the best bars and nightclubs around.

St Anton’s variety of beginner, intermediate and advanced skiing and boarding terrain and the wide selection of après ski, off-slope activity and indoor entertainment means there’s something here for groups of all shapes and sizes.

I’d been to St Anton before and am a big fan of Austria. The conditions at the end of March were OK as we’d been lucky with the weather. The apres ski is excellent and the ski area is pretty vast with good skiing off piste. + more

April weather was too hot at the beginning of the week and too cloudy at the end. Being right at the end of the season a fair bit of it was shut but there was still plenty of bars and clubs and places to drink – like Basecamp. It wasn’t as lively as I’d expected but again it was the end of the season, and it... + more

I would recommend St Anton to everyone. I’ve been a few times now. The ski school are great there and the whole process is really easy. In France the ski schools run until 12 and then you have to go back and collect them, but here they ski until 3.30pm which is much better. It isn’t really a beginner resort b... + more
Charlie,

The snow conditions weren’t brilliant, but it was April. The slopes were slushy, probably the worst condition I’ve experienced. We still managed to ski in the mornings though. This is definitely not a resort for beginners (especially on the week we went, as the only open run back down was a black run). It’s ... + more
Brian,

Liked St Anton, it was fine for our family. I think I actually prefer France though – the facilities in Austria are good but it’s all hotels, France has more restaurants and the food is much better. Also France is a bit more shabby chic whereas we thought Austria was more modern. + more

I loved St. Anton! It was the first time that I had skied here and as it was Feb half term, it was crazy busy. I thought it was fantastic though. It is one of the top resorts in the world and it certainly reflects that. + more

Will definitely go back to St Anton, it was busy but really good. Accommodation all seems to be a bit bigger in Austria than you get in France, and the locals are friendlier too! It was really sunny (I got very sunburned) but we still managed to enjoy the snow. + more
Kieran, Essex
5 out of 5
Pretty good restaurants up on the piste and nice runs, though from a snowboarder’s perspective it’s more skier friendly in terms of how the runs are set up. One piece of advice – there’s a ski lift that goes up to the other half of the resort where there’s a snow park, it’s worth checking it out early on ... + more

St Anton is a lovely, pretty resort and great for some fun and après ski etc. It has everything that you need and I had a great time. It could have done with some sun however, as it was basically a whiteout whilst I was there. I am a good skier and I still felt that the skiing is pretty hard core… Especially ... + more

Great! This was the first time we’d been to Austria as we always do France. Eating out and bars definitely seemed cheaper, and everyone was generally more polite. We always ski at half term when France has huge queues to get to the lifts, but here it was so much quieter, you wouldn’t have known it was half te... + more

St Anton’s one of the resorts we’d heard a lot about and wanted to go to. It’s hiked up to be quite crazy, which it is - and of course there’s plenty of skiing. But I don’t know if we’d return… I think we’ll go back to France next year. A lot of the bars are run by Austrians and Germans, while in Courch... + more

St Anton’s skiing is really good, a bit difficult for beginners but we only had a couple of learners with us. We’d heard the après was amazing, but it wasn’t really our style – it’s very cheesy! Weather was variable – one blue sky day, reasonable visibility on half of the other days and snowy on the rest. + more

I’d been to St Anton about 10 years ago, and having returned in 2016 it hasn’t changed much. The rest of the group hasn’t been but no one had a bad word to say about it, we had a good week. We had pretty decent weather – with 6/6 days of skiing you can’t complain! We were a mixed bunch with some first and ... + more

St Anton is a charming little place in the valley but be cautious about the ski area if you’re not a confident skier. I took my daughter here who was only 7 and didn’t realise that St Anton is a harder resort – the red runs are more like blacks so it’s more of a place for advanced skiers. We ended up catchi... + more

I’d definitely go back to St Anton, really loved it there! The town is lively with good pubs and live music if you wanted to go out and the skiing was great.

I’d have no problems going back here – the first time I stayed here we were right in the centre of the town at the bottom of the first lift and we found it so noisy.

One of the best resorts in Europe – the lift system is very fast and efficient. Even if there’s a queue that looks like something you’d find at Alton Towers, they get shot of the queues quickly. The longest I’ve waited is ten minutes and that was when only a couple of runs were open so everyone in resort wa... + more

We spent our first family ski holiday here and had a great time, the kids are still talking about it! It’s a fantastic resort, well known for après ski but we didn’t see much of that with children!

We had a good week but it snowed almost all the time so most of St Anton was shut!

We both had a really good week in St Anton, I’d been there before with my family and love skiing there. The skiing’s more on the difficult side, I don’t think I’d recommend it to a complete beginner.

Been to St Anton a couple of times and loved it.

We like the Austrian ski resorts but weren’t as keen on St Anton, we found it a bit Euro – it seems to have lost a bit of its charm.

This was our first time in St Anton and it was a lovely town; not a purpose built resort like you get in France, which have great skiing but horrible buildings, but a classic Austrian town. The resort is relaxed and we found some bars with live music and a good range of entertainment for both us and our sons. ... + more

I travelled from Lech/Zurs purely for the nightlife on the mountain in St Anton.

It’s a great resort. I’m not sure it’s beginner friendly, it was fine for us as we are experienced skiers but for our children it was quite difficult.

We had a great week – we’ll go back next year! First time here and absolutely loved it! People obviously don’t get tired of St Anton – everyone else in our chalet had been before.

We went at the end of the season and the snow wasn’t good at all. It varied between slush and ice. It was raining when we left. I had the feeling that the whole place was closing down.

It was my first time in St. Anton, I would definitely go back. I am a top end beginner skier and the terrain was challenging enough for me.

The snow was pretty rubbish while we were here (early April) but it looked like there was a lot of potential. I wanted to go off-piste, but the snow wasn’t really good enough.

We had a really good time. Everyone would say the same thing about St Anton – it’s not for beginners.

There are some lovely restau... + more

We were here at the very end of March/beginning of April because we had to work around university dates for the children, but you do need to go a little earlier for the best conditions.

Hadn’t been here before but the après ski is mental! It’s a brilliant place and we all had a fantastic time.

We will definitely go back again b... + more

We stayed in Lech but actually spent most afternoons here and would definitely consider staying in St Anton next time.

I’d definitely go back to St. Anton, it’s a good resort, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been more snow. We went over Christmas and it was quite crowded – I think this is because there were a lot of people who would normally ski off-piste who end up having to stick to the pistes. We wer... + more

I love it! I think it’s the best ski resort in Europe. It has great skiing and great après, which is unusual for a ski resort; most resorts have one or the other. The only thing is I don’t think it’s great for beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers definitely get more out of the resort. I would strongl... + more

St Anton is like a strip that runs through the valley, it’s quite an old resort and has some history – some of the Austrian downhill champions came from here. The village is quite picturesque with some old original chalet buildings and a nice church. Although it’s not a very big village, there’s a fair bit... + more

We were all very impressed with St Anton; the kids especially rated it. The skiing opportunities are great, it’s a lovely set up and there is a good variety of slopes - my two youngsters are very proficient skiers and had enough challenges to keep them happy. It’s probably not fantastic for absolute beginners... + more

We absolutely loved St Anton! It’s quite lively so you have to be a bit careful with where you book your accommodation if you're a light sleeper, but the ski area is fantastic with some lovely ski runs. The resort is quite easy to get to – under 2 hours transfer from the airport – which is always a good thing. + more

We love St Anton, it’s our favourite location, we’ve returned a few times and have encouraged friends to go here too. There’s a high level of skiing and snowboarding which suits our family well as we like to do a bit of both – we just like to cover the whole of the mountain and gobble it up. It’s definit... + more

Our experience of St Anton was marred slightly by the lack of snow in the beginning of April, but if I picture it with a good coverage, I think it would be incredible. You need to be a fearless skier to enjoy the area, if you were to take a nervous skier here you’d put them off for life. I wouldn’t take a... + more

St Anton is a great place to go, it has amazing après ski and is very lively – you can’t go wrong with the Krazy Kanguruh and Mosserwirt. Some slopes are steeper near the resort so maybe it’s not ideal for beginners. + more

St Anton is a fantastic resort! My two sons loved it! We stayed in Pettneu which was about a 5 minute bus ride away from the main lift in St Anton. It’s much quieter than St Anton itself so is great for families. There’s a lovely little cake shop at the bottom of the village where the bus stop is where we... + more

Quite a low resort but amazing snow, huge skiing for intermediates and advanced and the most famous apres ski in Austria, probably in the world. The town is really cool, I thought not quite as lively as Saalbach/Hinterglemm but good fun. Having said that I did visit Saalbach when there were over 2000 students i... + more
