A brief overview
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. Eight kilometres up the road, the
pretty village of St Christoph is no more than a handful of large hotels at the
foot of some gentle slopes. It is a popular base with families and couples
looking for tranquil surroundings, the convenience of doorstep skiing and quick
access to the amazing Arlberg ski area.
