St. Anton is one of the best
and most famous ski resorts in the world. The
Arlberg region and ski area is known for its powder
snow and stable weather conditions.
IN 1901
THE WORLD'S FIRST Alpine ski club was founded
in St. Anton. Today
Ski-Club Arlberg has 5300 members, who make sure
that their ski area is maintained and updated
to constantly offer world-class skiing for locals
and tourists. The same commitment and passion
for skiing is found among the inhabitants of St.
Anton who live by and live for skiing. Before
the Alpine World Cup in 2001 a number of new lifts
and runs were constructed, which significantly
increased the quality and availability of the
skiing.
St. Anton is a meeting
point for all sorts of skiers and snowboarders;
for extreme freeriders, jibbers and speed-searching
carving skiers. Most of the pistes are wide and
perfect for fast and deep carving turns and the
off-piste skiing is among the best in the Alps.
THE SNOW CONDITIONS
IN ST. ANTON are
dependable and consistent during the winter season
due to the high altitude of the village and the
ski area. St. Anton is situated 1304 metres above
sea level and you can ski from an altitude of
2811 metres.
SKI ARLBERG HAS 83 LIFTS,
about 275 kilometres of groomed trails and 180
kilometres of marked unprepared trails. The ski
pass is valid in a number of ski areas adjacent
to the surrounding villages of Lech, Zürs,
St Christoph, Stuben, St. Anton and St. Jakob.
Don't miss Gampen/Kapall with some of the best
carving runs in the Alps.
STUBEN gets
a lot of powder and is surprisingly empty of people
considering the great possibilities for amazing
off-piste skiing down to the village. Also try
the classic off-piste run down to Langen.
GALZIG AND VALLUGA offer varied skiing.
If you are looking for advanced trails or moguls
you should try to go down from the Valluga peak.
From Galzig you can practice your skills on the
moguls or your wide turns in the blue runs.
RENDL If you
ski at the Rendl side you will most surely get
a nice sun tan and should definitely try skiing
in the forest here. In this area you have a greater
chance to be on your own on the slopes as it is
more quiet and attracts less people.
