The Schindlergrat chairlift to Schindlerspitze will be replaced by a 10-person gondola and there will be an additional stage to make access to the huge off-piste bowls below the Valluga more easily accessible.

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!
It is now part of Austria’s biggest lift-linked ski area. 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, beware of the downside of St Anton’s local slopes: blues that get heavily mogulled, reds that might be black and runs that can be dangerously crowded. As we’ve been saying for years, the resort needs to create an alternative to the busy blue run down from its main mountain.
