Along with its sister chalets (or should that be brother and sister chalets) Hanzel and Kandi, we're happy to introduce Chalet Gretl to the Neilson Mountain Collection. They all share a building in the peaceful Stadl area of the St Anton.

With just three Austrian twin beds, it only sleeps six, but does so in comfort and style. There's a warm, contemporary feel to the chalet with lots of home comforts to make you feel welcome right away. The small steam room will certainly warm you up after a day on the slopes.

The lifts and thriving centre of St Anton are around ten to fifteen minute's walk down the hill, or you can hop on the regular ski bus which stops right outside the chalet. Don't worry about having to bring your skis or board and boots back to the chalet, just hire your equipment through Neilson and you can leave it at the rental shop which is close to the Rendlbahn gondola.

About the resort

St Anton is known for world-class terrain and a legendary après-ski scene. This is the place for intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders to really push themselves and then reward themselves after a big day on the mountain with a stein of beer or a (very) warming shnapps.

It has over 300kms of marked runs and a further 200km freeride area with some huge off-piste challenges. Absolutely stunning scenery adds to the glamour of this amazing resort and with four mountains to explore and loads of steep drops, it’s a great addition to the mighty Arlberg region.

Additions to the lift system means that the entire Arlberg region is connected. Finally, Lech, Zürs, St Cristoph and St Anton are now accessible without having to hop on a bus! Just what the piste hungry were wanting!
