A return to this superb resort following fantastic feedback!

A buzzy resort in a splendid location, St Anton lives up to its reputation as the place for big skiing, soft snow and serious nightlife. Perched up high in the Arlberg region of Austria, St Anton is a delightful mix of old and new architecture with inviting shops lining a pedestrian main street. Magnificent bowls and gullies are guaranteed to get your heart racing whatever the snow conditions.   

Although St Anton is best known as a resort for experienced skiers and snowboarders. Intermediates will find plenty of friendly runs across Gampen, Rendl and St Christoph. For a morale boost on perfectly groomed pistes, head over to Lech and Zurs, easily reached by bus. For those wanting adventure, the high speed Telebenne or Galzig lifts take you from the ski resort centre to the magnificent unpisted bowls and gullies. Also to be enjoyed is the long blast down to Stuben where the chairlifts serve a vast area of un-crowded north facing powder fields.

Apres Ski
St Anton comes into its own at night. The party starts early at the infamous Mooserwirt bar. Nestled on the mountain just above the village; it's in a spectacular location. Later, there's an abundance of excellent late night coffee shops, bars, restaurants, discos and live music - sleep will be the last thing on your mind
; but if you'd rather relax in the evenings and do something more low key, the resort has a fabulously stylish spa centre with indoor and outdoor pools. Those exhausted from their day on the slopes however may prefer a good meal followed by a quiet drink in the Chalethotel bar.

Chalet Rosanna Ski Accommodation
Our accommodation is the Chalethotel Rosanna which is located in the town centre off the main pedestrianised thoroughfare and only five minutes walk away from the ski schools and the main lifts so if you don't want to miss a moment of the St. Anton lifestyle this is a great place to be!
Built in traditional chalet design, the interior is stylish, decorated in dark wood and rich fabrics. The lounge and bar are warm and welcoming. Adult only for most of the season, the chalethotel Rosanna is lively and sociable. All bedrooms and bathrooms are modern and extremely comfortable. Bedrooms are made up of twins or Austrian twins, and are a good size with en suite bathrooms and cable TV.

On the ground floor there's a spacious dining room and comfy lounge with bar. Right next door is Scotty's Bar & Pizzeria with lively apres ski atmosphere. Meals in our restaurant are always hearty and plentiful and the daily menu has plenty of choice. Full English breakfasts make a great start to a day on the slopes, and our delicious tea at the end of the day are well received.
