Sankt Anton: for those who like to mix it up a bit

The vast Ski Arlberg ski area is serviced by several modern cable cars, all of them within walking distance. The cable cars will bring you into the heart of the vast Sankt Anton ski area.

End-of-season budget tip: Passo Tonale

Passo Tonale’s skiarea sits above the town settling at 1883m with top heights of well over 3000 meter. It is one of the highest skiresorts in Italy and snow is pretty much guaranteed throughout the season here. As is lots of sunshine. This Alpine resort is generally one of the last left open in April. The wide range of gentle slopes makes Passo Tonale a wonderful skiresort for beginners and timid intermediates.
