- Resort sprawls, with long treks from some lodgings to key lifts and bars

Summary
St Anton is one of the world’s best resorts for competent skiers and riders, particularly those with the energy to après-ski as hard as they ski. If you want to, you can party from 3pm to 3am. Good luck!
But the place doesn’t suit everyone. If you are thinking of trying an Austrian change from a major French resort, or of going up a gear from Kitzbühel or Söll, be sure that you are not going to get thrown by blues that get heavily mogulled, and reds that might be black.
The resort now has impressive access gondolas to both sides of its ski area. As we have been saying for years, the urgent need is to deal with the dangerously busy run down from its main mountain by creating an alternative piste. There is a ski route already there; it just needs a bit of a makeover.
News – this season 2011/12
The Mooser hotel, adjoining the Mooserwirt bar, is due to open in December 2011, with luxury rooms and 10 suites, spa, pool and restaurant. A smart new 4-star hotel (Anthony’s) is to be built in the resort centre, on the site of several popular restaurants – we hear Funky Chicken has closed, Pomodoro pizza is to relocate.
News – last season
The Mooserwirt après-ski bar is building a hotel, with seven modern rooms and ten luxury suites. Work is due for completion in 2011/12.
