St. Anton is Austria’s signature resort, a name well known throughout the skiing world; a mecca for on-ski experts, and a magnet for après-ski addicts. The ski region surrounding St. Anton includes 260 km of groomed runs served by 83 lifts in six resorts: St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zurs, and Sonnenkopf. The 41 local lifts access the region’s largest section of slopes, a 40-km network of steep, groomed pistes.
During the summer of 2003, Euro 13 million was invested in efforts to open up additional runs for beginning- and intermediate-level skiers.
Improvements target the Rendl and Fang areas. Mid-level skiers can enjoy most of the mountain, including the area’s longest run, a 10.2-km descent from the Vallugagrat down to the village.
Experts head for the steep slopes at Schindlerkar or plunge off the Valluga peak for an exhilarating ride. (Certified guides must accompany you on the Valluga route; if you don’t have a guide, the bouncer manning the Vallugapitze cable car won’t allow your skis on board.) Due to ecological concerns, helicopter skiing is no longer allowed.
