Sky is graded over the ski day, 9am to 4pm. Bluebird means at least two of the three models show clear skies all day, none shows overcast, and no snow or rain is forecast. Models are weaker on cloud than on snow, and none of them can see valley fog, so treat it as a good sign rather than a promise.

About St. Anton am Arlberg

St. Anton sits at 1,304 m on the Tyrolean side of the Arlberg, on the main railway line between Innsbruck and Bludenz. The local ski instructor Hannes Schneider developed the Arlberg technique here, and the village hosted the Alpine World Ski Championships in 2001.

The skiing

St. Anton is part of Ski Arlberg, which has more than 300 km of prepared pistes and 85 lifts across Lech, Zürs, Warth, Schröcken, Stuben and St. Christoph. The highest point of the whole area is the Valluga above St. Anton at 2,811 m, giving a vertical drop of about 1,500 m.

The snow

St. Anton is the snowiest of the great Austrian resorts. It sits at 1,304 m on the Arlberg pass, where north-westerly storms drop their first Alpine snow, and its lifts reach 2,811 m on the Valluga. In our record it snows on about 14 days a month at mid-mountain in December, January and March, more than any other resort in Austria in this record, and snow was on the ground every Christmas Day in the last ten years. The ski area links across the pass to Lech, Zürs, Stuben and Warth-Schröcken as Ski Arlberg.

Who it suits

Confident skiers. St. Anton’s pistes are steeper and its off-piste more serious than most of Austria, and the village runs are crowded and bumpy by the afternoon. The après-ski at the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh is famous. Beginners and nervous intermediates are better on the Lech side.

Getting there

St. Anton is on the main railway line: direct trains from Zurich in about two and a half hours and from Innsbruck in about an hour and a quarter. Innsbruck and Zurich airports are the usual choices; Friedrichshafen and Munich work too.
