St Anton

Navigation

Introduction

Those who know about where to ride would have to agree that St Anton has the best terrain in Austria, making this place an absolute must. This is a resort that has it all and will suit all styles of riding, though favouring freeriders the most. Whether you’re a freestyle freak, a piste carving poser, a freeride speed king or simply a nappy-wearing new kid, you will love this place.

The area does have the reputation for being expensive and attracting the fur-clad, Ferrari-owning skiers, but whilst they sip pink gins in mountain bars, snowboarders can roam freely over miles of excellent terrain. With steeps, deep powder, air, and trees on all sides of the mountain slopes, it’s hard to beat.

The Arlberg ski pass allows you to ride the linked areas of St Christoph and Stuben, and (via bus) the resorts Lech and Zürs which all offer great snowboarding terrain, with amazing amounts of powder.

The best resort in Austria, with great freeriding for advanced and intermediate riders. It is a bit snooby off the slopes but nothing compared to nearby Lech.

ON THE SLOPES Austria's best

OFF THE SLOPES Great but a bit up itself

MONEY WISE Super expensive, but worth the money just for the slopes.
