St. Anton am Arlberg, Austrian Alps

St. Anton am Arlberg: 5 things to know before you go

Austrian Alps, Austria 🇦🇹

Few places ski as hard or party as hard. St. Anton gave the world the Arlberg technique, and its après-ski temples, the MooserWirt and Krazy Kanguruh, are as legendary as its punishing black runs.

1.Is the snow reliable in St. Anton am Arlberg?

Yes. The base sits at 1304 m and the top reaches 2811 m, which puts snow reliability among the very best on our index (score 92/100).

2.Do you need a car, or can you ski in and out?

Ski-in/ski-out depends on the address here: some hotels are on the snow, others need a short walk or shuttle. Pick a slopeside address if skiing from the door matters to you.

3.How big is the ski area, and who is it for?

It is one of the bigger domains on the site: 305 km of piste on 88 lifts, enough to ski a different sector every day of the week. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 30 blue, 42 red, 25 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.

4.What is the resort like?

St. Anton am Arlberg stands out for lively après-ski, serious off-piste and freeride terrain and demanding terrain for strong skiers.

5.When is the best time to go?

The season usually runs Dec 7 to Apr 28 (about 20 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
