St Anton Reviews

I have had a brilliant skiing holiday in St.Anton at Chalet Rosanna. The accommodation was very pleasant, attractive bedroom and lovely bathroom. The only drawbacks were the facts that we were facing a road and could hear the traffic at night. Also, there was a bar attached to the chalet, so we could sometimes hear people from the bar. The beds were very good but the pillows were really uncomfortable. My roommate found the same thing. We had a warm welcome upon arrival. Much appreciated to find that our luggage gets taken care of and taken up to our rooms, especially after a tiring journey with virtually no sleep the previous night. Staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was very good too. It was easy to meet and get to know people right from the beginning. We soon made up our dining party and skiing group. Everyone got on well and we shared lots of wonderful moments together. The skiing was very good too although we had to make do with a bit of "spring snow" but this was to be expected given the time of year. We had a mixture of icy slopes at the top, hard as concrete in places then heavy slushy snow at the bottom but plenty of decent snow was around too and we really skied our socks off all day every day. The après-ski was great fun too! Overall, this had been an extremely enjoyable holiday. We were all sorry to go and to part company. Thank you again to all the staff at Chalet Rosanna for looking after us so well. Can't wait for my next skiing holiday!

St Anton is quite literally the greatest resort in the world. A pretty pedestrianised high street, second to non après ski, fantastic skiing and enough Jagermister to sink a ship.! What more could one ask for. The skiing is quite challenging and probably not recommended for beginners. The pistes are fairly steep and by the end of the day covered in moguls. For those that do enjoy the challenging stuff there is the steep Schindlergrat chutes, off piste Matun, back side of Rendl or (if willing to hike) dropping off the back to Zurs. If these activities take their toll then why not have a big lunch on the Post Hotel sun terrace in Stuben or at the Hospiz Alm in St Christoph. St Anton is often widely recognised as the après-ski capital of the Alps. The famous Mooserwirt and the Krazy Kanguruh on the mountain will be in full swing by 4pm with more ski boot stomping, dancing and Jager than you thought was possible. If you haven't passed out by 8pm then opt for the more relaxed Pub 37, Jacksies or Alibi. The locals in St Anton also make the resort with great service and generosity. You will always encounter bar owners (notably Pepi Gabl in the Fang house) buying Austrian schnapps for the whole bar! Once you have been to St Anton you will realise there is no other ski resort that comes close... Enjoy!

Why not try St Anton for some 'Krazy' après action this winter. I've had a number of calls recently asking "does St Anton have good nightlife and après"? My answer to all those asking is, hell yes! With the Krazy Kangaroo and the famous Mooserwirt at the centre of the action I, and many others in the office, have witnessed some sweet... rad.... awesome afternoons/evenings through to early hours in these great venues. Why not try it, I can be certain you'll go back for more!

St Anton is my top resort. Not only has it got a vast amount of varied pistes for all abilities, but it has fantastic après, so it's a perfect resort for those who like to mix it up a bit. Very good for non-skiers too, as there is a wonderful wellness centre in town and an opportunity to go up to the top of Valuga 2 (which can be got to from the Galzigbahn )on foot, to the 'view point', to check out some wonderful views at around 2800 metres across Austria. Gnarly riders should check out the park up at Rendl, called Rendl Beach, where onlookers can chill out on a deck chair.. Taps, KKs and Mooserwirt supply awesome après up the mountain until 8 pm. Taps have a happy hour from 3.30-430 where they have cheap beers and wines. Check the Moose for more of a traditional Austrian après with pumping Austrian tunes. After dinner head into town for some 'après après'. Top spots being Bar Cuba, Piccadilly's, Bobos, Scotties and Kandahar. For those of you who want to watch sport check out Bar Cuba who have daily football, rugby and cricket on. For chalet night off head to the Underground for a delicious top quality Tyrolean meal, sometimes accompanied with some live music.
