San Anton

San Anton am Arlberg was the host for the 2001 World Alpine Championships and is arguably
one of the best ski resorts in the world. It sits more than comfortably in the 'Big Boy'
league that includes Chamonix, Zermatt and Whistler. San Anton is mostly an experts' resort,
with awesome off-piste, moguls and powder. Its pistes are generally undergraded, but with
great guiding and instructors the skiing and boarding can be enjoyed by most levels. It is
perhaps not the most ideal place for beginners or lower intermediates. Feature analysis
shows that boarders have only recently been welcomed here but, now that they are, there's
great variety on offer. All this is supported by a big ski area, good snow, improving lifts
and lots of snowmaking facilities. San Anton is only an hour from Innsbruck, has its own
station and, with the 'Arlberg Ski' pass, you can ski at Lech, Zurs and St Christoph as
well. Because it is so well-known, there can be crowds and high prices.
The other side of San Anton's allure is the town itself. Not necessarily the prettiest of
Austrian resorts, San Anton nonetheless offers a superb range of après-ski, with bars and
clubs galore. Eating out is variable, but as most holiday makers just want to get on with
partying a quick bite suffices. For non-skiers, there isn't a great amount to do, beyond
strolling around the pedestrianised centre, with its shops and cafés. However you can
always jump on a train and explore Innsbruck.
Overall, San Anton is one of the real 'big boys', with tough skiing and loads of hectic
nightlife.
