Nestled in the foothills of the Austrian Tyrol leading up to the Arlberg pass, lies the pretty ski town of St Anton or in German Sankt Anton. It is part of the larger Arlberg Ski Area and has access to over 240 individual pistes. It is a great ski resort for all levels and abilities and this is one of the main reasons why St Anton ski holidays are so popular.
Ski Arlberg (which St Anton is part of) boasts 85 ski runs with the largest amount being for intermediates with 138 km of red runs. Novices get the next best deal with 108 km of blue runs and experts get 30 km of seriously tough black downhill runs. The resort has 40 ski lifts which are able to transport 54,389 skiers every single hour to and from their destinations. The highest lift point transports you to over 2,800 metres, and as the resort Altitude is around 1,500 metres, you are pretty much guaranteed snow. On the rare occasions that snow isn't forthcoming St Anton has invested heavily in over 418 snow cannons which will make sure that you get what you came for. On top of this, it’s also boasts some of the best off piste skiing that
