Ski information

Beginners

The St. Anton beginners slopes are just above the village towards Nasserein and are ideal for building your confidence.

Intermediates

The Galzig and Gampen areas offer a superb range of blue and red runs to get your skiing legs into gear. The Rendl area on the sunny side of the valley has plenty of challenges while you will find long cruising runs off the Valluga.

Advanced

St. Anton is an experienced skier's paradise, with countless challenges on and off-piste - tricky black runs, steep narrow gullies, bump runs and fantastic off-piste trails. The high mountain runs from the Valluga are particularly fearsome, and the Mattun, Schindlerkar and Stuben runs are definite highlights.
