The Village
A cosmopolitan village with Tyrolean charm and a meeting-point for winter sports enthusiasts of all ages and nations, St. Anton delights in its particular flair. From the cool free rider on a flying visit to the family who have come for a relaxing holiday, to lover of fine gastronomy and the luxuries which only a five-star hotel can offer, here everyone can find their own personal “Stanton”, as the town is often referred to both by regular visitors and anglophile residents.
The wide range of offers in terms of dining and accommodation is equally matched by the variety of skiing pleasures to be had in this impressive mountain world. Names like Galzig and Kapall, along with Valluga which presides over them all, enjoy a worldwide reputation, and the area offers everything a skier’s or snowboarder’s heart could desire, from gentle slopes to challenging mogul runs to free riding.
Do & See
Numerous other sports facilities, an ultra-modern wellness centre and a climbing and sports-centre in the heart of the town, and events like the “Spring Festival” or the legendary “White Rush” demonstrate the dynamic and openhearted spirit of St. Anton – not the least of which is its colourful night life, which is one of the greatly- appreciated facets of this pulsating but equally romantic town in the foot of the Arlberg.
