Ski tradition

Already in the 19th century, the first ski tourists found their way to St. Anton am Arlberg. The ski club Arlberg, founded in 1901, organized the first ski race in 1904, and from then on, the successful history of the ski area began. Today, the Arlberg is especially known for its varied slopes and its snow reliability. On average, 7m of snowfall is recorded here per winter. Additionally, 86% of all slopes are mechanically snowed. In total, there are 340 kilometers of slopes available in St. Anton. They are divided into 142km of easy slopes, 153km of intermediate slopes, and 45km of difficult slopes. 94 lifts ensure a comfortable ascent. The longest descent stretches over 10.2km and leads from the Vallugagrat over the Ulmer Hut to St. Anton. Tip: those who appreciate original flair, stay at 1,800m altitude in St. Christoph am Arlberg. Here there is a ski hut for 700 guests and a few smaller inns and hotels.

Whether on the slopes, in the hut or at the village square - there is always something going on in St. Anton. The season begins in early December with a big opening party. Between the end of December and the beginning of January, there is a weekly ski show with fireworks, and in April, the Snow Volleyball Tour stops here at 2,030 meters above sea level. Freestylers and snowboarders are also not short-changed. For them, the STANTON Park offers a Proline, a Kickerline, and a Jibline area.

Freeride Eldorado

Moving off the prepared slopes in the deep snow and finding your own way down to the valley is particularly appealing for many skiers. Around the Arlberg, there are numerous entry points for freeriders. Many short runs and cliffs start at mountain stations. Note: the mountain guides of the local ski schools are specialized in tours off the slopes and trained to accompany beginners as well as advanced skiers.
