Travel to St Anton am Arlberg: Important tips for ski lovers

If you are a beginner for the ski, just stop here, because St Anton is good for pre-intermediate, intermediate and advanced ones. We went there by Zurich HB train.
It is quite a big area even one week is not enough for skiing.
Look at the map. You can see blue, red and black lines which are accordingly beginner(actually not beginner it is for pre-intermediate), intermediate and advance lines. You can use gondolas for moving from one peak to another one. One of the famous peaks is Valluga where you can enjoy skating or skiing around beautiful view of Austrian Alps. But don't forget, lines from Valluga are only for advance ones.

In case of staying at somewhere you should know that hotels around St Anton or ski(skate) centers are not cheap. The cheapest one is around 671£ for 6nights. Our choice was a pension (b&b) from 28€ per night. You have to order rooms in advance and have to pay deposit in advance too. You can find reliable rooms from this website: booking.stantonamarlberg.com/stanton/en/accommodation/list
Our pension is in Flirsch which is a bit far from St Anton, but no worry everyday free buses will take you from your area to St Anton from 8am till 6 pm. After this time buses are chargable (until 10pm it is 3.70€, after that is 5€).
And of course ski stuff. If you have your own ski stuff you should only pay for daily pass (here includes lifts) it is 53€ for adults for weekdays and weekends. If you don't have any ski equipments or stuff like helmets, glasses and etc. pay attention here. I recommend you buy your own helmets, sunglasses and especially trousers. Because daily rental of helmet is 15-18€ and you can buy your own one for 20€ with good conditions. In case of sunglasses they don't rent them and the cheapest one for adults you can buy at least around 150€ (you can buy this less than 100€). If you are a beginner don't care to buy the the most expensive trousers or jackets. From Decathlon you can buy the one which is suitable for your budget. TIP: pay attention for your socks. If you wear stocking no need socks because ski boots will press your legs more, or avoid stocking just wear thermal socks and take extra in your bag too. You can rent your ski boots, ski and ski poles for two people for 170€ for two days. If you take more there will be sale for you. And of course you can take a locker for your important stuffs for 4€ daily. Our choice was "sport 2000" and we loved service, staff and prices.

If you want to learn with ski trainers, some info about it. If you are in group with 5 people, it will be around 55€ per person (for adults) for 4 hours. But personally it is a little bit expensive, like 67€ per hour and around 255€ per day.

And of course restaurants around ski centers. You can take self-made sandwiches and water in your rucksack or you can also choose some restaurants like Sonnegg for hot drinks, hot soups, burgers for warming up. Prices are normal around 3-5€. Don't forget going to Krazy Kanguruh and enjoying from dancing too! 😉
