St Anton / St Christoph

"The vast ski area provides variety and lots of challenges, and be warned, you’ll need as much energy for the après-ski action in St Anton as you will for the slopes. Otherwise, head to St Christoph for an evening agenda no more taxing than a delicious meal and perhaps a drink or two in the hotel bar. "

The St Anton region has more than 100 years of skiing tradition and is considered by many to be one of the best ski areas in the world, encompassing not only St Anton but also St Christoph, Lech, Zurs and Stuben. With over 260km of pisted runs and challenging off-piste opportunities, the Arlberg area has something to keep even the most advanced skiers and boarders entertained.

St Anton has developed into the area’s most famous centre. Although large and spread-out, it has heaps of charm and character. Here you’ll find some of the liveliest nightlife in Austria with things warming up from mid-afternoon in the many slopeside bars.

St Christoph is the lesser known but perfectly formed neighbour of St Anton. Located 8km up the road from St Anton at 1800m, it offers a quiet, friendly atmosphere and quick access via a high speed chairlift to the massive St Anton ski area.

This bijou resort is made up of a handful of colourful buildings; high standard hotels, a few restaurants and bars, all conveniently situated at the foot of the local slopes. At 1800m, St Christoph enjoys excellent snow all season. The renowned Arlberg Ski School has a team of instructors based here and also offers a dedicated children’s ski school just outside the Sporthotel.

This is a fantastic base for families or anyone wanting the convenience of doorstep skiing in the Arlberg region. Don’t expect the nightlife that St Anton offers, evenings here are generally spent enjoying delicious meals or relaxing in the hotel bar with a few drinks.
