St Anton is widely recognized as one of Austria’s greatest ski resorts. It is easy to understand why luxury ski vacations in St Anton are so popular, with its famed on and off piste skiing and dynamic energetic après-ski.
When you’re searching for a luxury chalet to rent in St Anton, there’s plenty of luxurious accommodation choices that vary from excellent luxury catered chalets with outstanding service to versatile self-catered luxury chalets.
St Anton’s popularity has blossomed since the mid-1930s. Located in the Arlberg area of Austria, it is renowned for excellent snow conditions and even more impressive off-piste skiing, cementing its position not only as host to some of the finest skiing in Europe, but also as one of the finest après-scenes on the road. The mighty Valluga of St Anton ties the resort with its neighbour, Zürs, and so on to Lech, providing an almost limitless ski area.
The area is filled with trendy hotels, luxurious chalets, restaurants and bars as well as the recently designed Arlberg1800 art and concert hall in St Christoph. The town’s shops provide an excellent range of skis and snow equipment, as well as luxury focused boutiques offering designer winter clothing. The nightlife of St Anton only enhances the lively atmosphere of the town, with famous bars such as MooserWirt and Krazy Kanguruh providing the ultimate après entertainment.
With 340 km of pistes and 200 km of off-piste test terrain, St Anton certainly has one of Europe’s most impressive ski areas. As of Winter 2016/17, there are four additional lifts linking the resort with Zürs and Lech offering a large range of ski runs for skiers of all skills. St Anton is also home to The Ski School Arlberg, Austria ‘s largest ski school, so kids too can enjoy all the excitement that the slopes have to offer.
All through December, with Christmas-centered activities, ‘Ladies First! ‘Weeks of pampering and the January Audi Quattro Ski Cup, there’s plenty for the entire world. ‘The White Thrill,’ which took place later in April, often provides intense excitement in the shape of a cultic ski event, driving its competitors to the edge. In case of bad snow days, there is a large collection of spas in the city, or if you want to do something more active, there is also the multifunctional sport and climbing center.
