On top of that, St Anton après ski is truly withering, hosting possibly the most famous on-slope après ski bar in the world – the Mooserwirt. Company folklore has been written on the St Anton après ski circuit, the après bars of St Anton really are the stuff of legend.
St Anton is just an hour by autobahn from Innsbruck airport – ideal for short-duration corporate ski trips. Whilst the resort isn’t ski-in / ski-out, there are several quality hotels on the slopes or just a short distance from them and the ski lifts.
For non-skiers, or as part of the group corporate ski event programme, there are a range of activities to entertain the clients in St Anton including tandem paragliding, snowshoe walking, tobogganing, climbing or a trip to nearby Innsbruck.
St Anton skiing is revered worldwide amongst the better skiers and snowboarders for the terrain and snow accumulations. The steeps around the Valluga are famous and offer serious chutes and steeps whilst the superb snow record of the St Anton region ensures numerous powder days throughout the winter season.
The snow record in St Anton is one of the very best in the Alps whilst the neighbouring Lech-Zürs ski area has the second-highest historic snowfall record in Europe. Beginner skiers can ski in the learner's area in St Anton or else head over into St Christoph for some great easy skiing.
On powder days St Anton locals head over to Rendl for a day of untracked powder skiing - although the redeveloped Rendlbahn gondola is ensuring these secret spots are becoming less secret over time. Guiding in St Anton is some of the best around and is essential in most off-piste areas.
Corporate ski events usually include a wide range of skiing abilities and for those looking for less extreme skiing, the Arlberg ski region is huge and mightily impressive. For intermediate skiers the Arlberg ski region beyond the Galzig lift station is superb – the long runs out of the St Anton ski area are fantastic.
