St Anton is an attractive and vibrant ski resort, one of Austria’s finest. It lies in the heart of the Tyrol, surrounded by majestic mountains including Galzig, Gampen and Valluga. It has a great selection of wonderful pistes and the apres ski is simply legendary.
INTRODUCTION
Austria, home to the legendary Hannes Schneider; founder and father of the modern downhill skiing technique still used today, for decades has been held in high regard amongst those that move within the Alpine circles.
Enjoying a heyday in the 1970s, the British used to flock to the numerous luxurious Austrian resorts armed with their straight skis to witness the downhill prowess of Franz Klammer. However, thanks to its warm and friendly welcome, Austria is witnessing the rebirth of this heyday and has emerged as one of, if not the leading ski destinations of Europe.
The Arlberg Ski Region, Austria’s largest ski area, not only hosts a vast network of sophisticated cable cars and lifts but also boasts spectacular scenery. Combine this with some of the most reliable snow in Austria and you get one of the most famous ski destinations in the world for serious skiers. The Arlberg Ski Pass provides the holder the use of over 80 ski lifts in the Region that grant access to the exclusive resort of St Anton, Stuben and St Christoph occupying one side of the expanse and a simple bus ride takes you to the equally exclusive areas of Lech and Zurs on the other. You will also have access to Rendl, where the famous Rendl beach has live music playing most days as well as Sonnekopf, known for its sunny aspect and endless powder runs.
There is skiing to suit absolutely everyone - a statement most ski centres claim to offer but few can offer with such conviction and delivery the limitless opportunities for advanced and experts alongside an abundance for beginners in quite the same way that the Arlberg can. For beginners there are the nursery slopes and gentler blue runs situated close to the resort centres. Intermediates are completely spoilt for choice and would be hard pushed to find better suited resorts than that of Lech and Zurs. For the adrenaline junkies among us there is the hair raising descent from the Valluga, the soaring mountain peak rising above St Anton.
Whatever your ability, the lively après ski of St Anton, the hedonistic ski haven of the Arlberg and the overwhelming quality and charm of Austrian service is guaranteed to secure Austria as a most sought after destination.

Tips in restaurants are usually added on at 10/15 % of the bill. However, it is often a subject of controversy whether this amount actually goes to the waiter or not, therefore it is your choice whether to tip more.
Travel documents are your responsibility. In general you should have: a signed, valid passport that will remain valid for at least 6 months beyond the completion of your trip. Your passport must have enough blank pages (excluding amendment pages) available for entry and exit stamps issued when entering and exiting immigration points. Visas are required for certain nationalities and you are strongly advised to check your status allowing plenty of time for visa application.
The alpine climate is cold and visitors should wear warm, waterproof clothing at all times when outdoors during the winter. Hats and gloves are also essential to prevent frostbite. Sunglasses or ski goggles are also necessary to reduce the glare of the sun on the snow.
It is advisable to contact your doctor before you travel if you have any specific health concerns and imperative to take out appropriate travel and medical insurance. Winter sports involve a high degree of risk and you should be in good health and carry adequate medical insurance in case of winter sports accident, including cover for air ambulance.
