Summary

St Christoph is barely a village, but rather a small collection of plush hotels, a chalet hotel and bars near the top of the Arlberg pass, and sharing slopes with St Anton and Stuben. It all feels rather isolated once the lifts close. The place is probably best regarded for the charming and very popular dining spot: the Hospiz Alm. The lower slopes here offer a quiet area for beginners and a fast quad chairlift takes you to the heart of St Anton’s slopes.

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.
