Summer holidays in St. Anton are best spent getting out into the mountains of the Arlberg – which is easy, thanks to the cable cars, trusty village buses and innumerable walking and biking trails. The train station also brings Innsbruck and Zurich within easy (and very scenic) day-tripping reach. Back in town, look out for yoga festivals and outdoor film screenings with an even more cinematic backdrop, or enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with aperitif alfresco. Also, the dining is divine - take your pick from mountain recipes served with Alpine views, candle-lit wine bars and steakhouses chasing their first Michelin stars.
Walking holidays in St. Anton
St. Anton offers around 270 kilometres of marked footpaths, perfect for a walking holiday that takes you through everything from tranquil forested valleys to exhilarating ridge walks with panoramic views of majestic peaks and glaciers. The Verwall Alps are right on the doorstep, where towering mountains rise above 3,000 metres and mountain huts are linked by scenic, high-altitude trails. A short bus ride from St. Anton brings you to the stunning emerald waters of Verwall Lake, an ideal spot for families, with a beautiful walk, playground, and café to enjoy. Be sure to visit the breathtaking suspension bridge, which stretches high above the rushing waters of the Rosanna River.
Summer holidays in St. Anton
St. Anton’s charming streets wind along the base of the Arlberg massif, inviting you to explore its picturesque pedestrianised village centre. Take a leisurely stroll and visit the Ski and Local Heritage Museum, where the town's transformation into a world-renowned ski destination unfolds, all housed in a building that looks like a real-life gingerbread house. Summer in St. Anton comes alive with a vibrant calendar of festivals and events, including the weekly Tyrolean Night, where you can experience traditional yodelling and folk dancing. Don’t miss the sound of the local brass bands and the unmistakable call of the alphorn, as players often fill the air with timeless Tyrolean tunes.
Wellness and wonder trails
Originally designed as a cutting-edge media centre for the Alpine Ski World Championships, Arlberg WellCom has reinvented itself as a sleek wellness hub, offering everything from swimming pools and waterslides to saunas, a gym, and tennis courts, all with stunning mountain views. Families can also visit the Senn family’s Sennhütte, a charming mountain hut featuring the Wonder Trail – a sensory adventure with herb gardens, tree houses, and a world-record-breaking edelweiss flowerbed, which holds the Guinness World Record for the largest flower arrangement on Earth.
Journey to Switzerland by train
The construction of the railway and nearby Arlberg Pass changed St. Anton’s course forever, transforming it from a sleepy village to a ski resort that would become the place to be for downhill skiing. These days, the train station is a one-stop shop for day trips to the Tyrolean capital of Innsbruck and Switzerland’s Zurich, with its bright turquoise lake. If city explorations aren’t your thing, there are plenty of tiny village stations to disembark at en route.
