St. Anton in Austria is more than just a ski town in disguise; in summer, it transforms into a full-blown alpine playground. The vibe? We like to think it’s peak performance meets laid-back cool, with soaring peaks, shimmering lakes, and enough fresh air to make your phone sit neglected in your pocket.
Hikers, bikers, climbers, and sunrise yoga fans can all find their “Lebensgefühl” (love of life) rhythm here, enjoying up to a staggering 300 days of sunshine each year. Now that's what you call sunny summits!
And whether if you’re up for a morning mountain hike with friends or a leisurely lakeside stroll with your other half, you’ll return to a town that knows how to nourish and feed you, leaving you refreshed and raring to go again tomorrow.
Many hotels also offer a complimentary St. Anton Mobility Card, which covers the cost of buses, as well as free admission to the Museum St. Anton am Arlberg, the Gand Exhibition Mine, and exciting evening activities, including torchlit guided hikes and a Tyrolean folklore evening with D'Arlberger.
