St Anton
St Anton is a top holiday resort destination for British skiers
and snowboarders, attracted by both the first-class skiing and the
beer-fuelled après-ski sessions. Along with its neighbours, Lech
and Zürs (only a short bus ride away), St Anton offers extensive
skiing for intermediate and advanced skiers but is possibly not the
best choice for beginners or non-skiers on holiday as lower slopes
can get crowded and there are not many off-slope facilities.
The St Anton holiday resort, which sprawls along the bottom of a
narrow valley, is a haven for ski-bums attracted by the excellent
off-piste runs - the best Austria has to offer. St Anton's
south-facing slopes can get slushy by the end of the day,
particularly in spring, and partly for this reason the collection
of bars on the slopes above St Anton get packed by around 3pm.
