Sankt Anton heeft prima pistes op zich. Lang niet zo mooi als in Frankrijk maar het viel me niet tegen. Wat me wel zwaar tegenviel was het feit dat je om 16:00 van de piste af gestuurd wordt terwijl er prachtige sneeuw ligt en de zon hoog aan de hemel staat. Ook de terrassen op de piste gaan dan dicht en je moet gewoon naar beneden. In St. Anton was niet veel te doen. Een paar cafe's en natuurlijk de Mooserwirt. Maar dat is alleen leuk als je van carnaval houdt. Dat is volgens mij het verschil tussen Frankrijk en Oostenrijk... In Frankrijk heb je als apres ski terrassen in de zon, cafes met live muziek en wat discotheekachtige barren. En in Oostenrijk is het carnaval. Keiharde stampmuziek en

I find it sort of amazing the amount of praise heaped on St. Anton. I basically found it to be a very bland and small town convincing itself it is something special, with some special prices. The mountain is average to above average but nothing outstanding. If you want exclusive, go to Zermatt or St.Moritz. If you really want to ride/ski go to Whistler or Vail or Jackson Hole. You want snow, go to Utah. The snow here is iffy especially in the lower half of the mountain. Considering it's reputation online, global warming must be killing this place. The runs are generally short with many narrow interconnecting paths. The lines at the lifts, even mid week, are fairly extensive. If you are comin

St Anton is a fantastic place to ski on all fronts. It's very friendly They understand the concept of queues The runs are varied and challenging - yet there are runs that are suitable for beginners (although the run down from Rendel can be very challenging for a beginner as it can get very crowded, has certain steep parts and can be icy at the end of the day) There are your usual collection of bars, some relaxing, some jazzy and lively and some absolutely mad (Krazy Kangaruh for example.) You must try the herbal drinks company on the main street(we called it World of Booze), a massive selection of wildy coloured drinks for your hip-flask. Just remember the limits on liquids in your hand bagg

Dit skigebied kan m.i. claimen te behoren tot de beste van de Alpen en in ieder geval zonder twijfel als het beste van Oostenrijk. In weinig andere gebieden vind je zo'n uitgelezen combinatie van uitmuntende ski-mogelijkheden, sfeer en sneeuwzekerheid. Alleen St.Anton is op zich zelf al de moeite waard om z'n off-piste mogelijkheden, uitdagende pistes en mondain-sportieve sfeer. Lech vult dit aan met een prachtig gelegen, romantisch dorp, perfecte sneeuw en uitgelezen restaurants. St.Christoph, Zurs en Stuben zijn stuk voor stuk unieke, kleine skidorpen. Niet zo uitgebreid als de Franse resorts, maar nog steeds zeer uitdagend voor de beste skier, en veeel meer sfeer. Minder perfect aaneenges

Have skied in St Anton for many years and my daughter learnt to ski with the Arlberg school. She started at aged 5, and can now (4 years later) easily ski most runs in the area. Last January she did the Schindler run down to Stuben confidently. I cannot praise the kids ski school enough, in my opinion it's heaps better than France or Switzerland. Despite the fact the resort is not easy, don't let this put you off. Go to ski school, whatever your age and you will have a great time, they have some fab off piste classes. Oh and the apres ski is pretty good too!
