Clive - Ski Expert"St Anton is the party town for experienced skiers (I'm sure the phrase 'sleep is overrated' was coined after a visit to St Anton!). St Anton boasts a great ski area; with the linked Arlberg ski area now offering a whopping 305km of ski runs! My top tip would be to stay close to the Nasserein lift as the queues are smaller and you can get onto the mountain quicker.

'St Anton ski holidays' is one of the most searched for phrases on the SkiWeekends site, and for good reason. A famous ski resort, short transfer from Innsbruck (by train or by car), great off piste skiing, even better apres, and a huge ski area in the Arlberg Ski Circus make St. Anton an incredibly popular choice for a short break.
St Anton's apres ski scene is the stuff of legends. Numerous bars (including the famed Krazy Kanguruh and Mooserwirt) take care of your on-mountain apres ski needs, whilst the vibrant town centre offers an extensive variety of eateries and watering holes to accommodate even the most dedicated of revellers.
Happily, Austria's most lively ski resort is also one of its prettiest. With over 70 cafés and restaurants in St. Anton, ranging from small snacks to traditional dishes and American style food, there is something to suit all tastes. Spread out along the bottom of a narrow valley on the edge of the Rosanna river, its car-free town centre is characterised by traditional buildings which ooze Alpine charm, and its proximity to Innsbruck means hassle-free airport transfers.
