Chalet Silvretta, St Anton

Renowned for its challenging terrain, St Anton is one of the Alps' premier destinations for expert skiers. From steep gullies and deep, snow-filled bowls to demanding black runs, there's no shortage of exciting terrain to explore. Intermediates are equally well catered for, with 305km of seamlessly linked pistes stretching across the Arlberg ski area. One of the resort's standout experiences is the Run of Fame – an epic 85km ski route that starts in St Anton and winds its way to Warth-Schröcken, showcasing some of the region's finest scenery along the way.

The village combines authentic Tyrolean character with a world-famous après-ski scene. Traditional chalets and a striking onion-domed church give the centre plenty of Alpine charm, while lively slopeside bars are the perfect place to celebrate the day's skiing. As evening falls, the pedestrianised main street comes alive with bustling pubs, bars and live music that keep the atmosphere going well into the night. Accommodation ranges from luxurious hotels close to the Galzig gondola, ideal for those wanting to be at the heart of the action, to welcoming family-run guesthouses in the quieter Nasserein area.

There's plenty to enjoy away from the slopes too. The arl.rock Sport Park offers everything from indoor and outdoor climbing walls to tennis courts and a bowling alley, making it a great option for an active afternoon. Afterwards, unwind in the sports bar with a drink and a few classic pub games before heading back out to enjoy the resort's legendary nightlife.
