Poster: A snowHead
|
What is there to be done in St. Anton other than ski and party? There will likely be a day that I take off on my week there so I would love some suggestions. I will not have a car, so things in the immeidate area are best. Likewise, inexpesive is a plus also.
Thanks.

Train to Innsbruck or Bregenz.
Theres is a Outdoor Pool & Sauna Complex.

Take the Bus to Lech & or Zurs and just soak up the atmosphere with the rich & famous.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

A long lunch at the Arlberg Hospitz. Ask them to show you the wine cellar - a few million quids worth of swill down there.

there is the skiing museum, al least it was there in 1998, when I was there. Hannes Schneider is the local hero.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Bode Swiller, second that! But if you're not into drinking and eating then I would head out to Innsbruck for the day.

Innsbruck is mediaeval and baroque, and beautiful. I've not been to Bregenz.
You can ski most of the way to Lech via Zurs (All the way if you a good off-piste skier).
The Hospitz Alm (at St Christoph - part of the ski area), has a famous ( and, I admit, expensive) restaurant, but also a slide down to the basement toilets which has to be done, even if you don't need to pee. (Bode Swiller I assume that is the same place as your Arlberg Hospitz?

snowball, yes, I'm getting the hotel confused with the restaurant... that's alcohol for you. The wine cellar (if they'll let you in there) is a must though. A 28,000 Euro bottle of claret anyone?
fs2k2isfun, I don't know when you're going but, if it is pre-Christmas, the Christmas market in Innsbruck is well worth a visit (very festive and atmospheric). Then there's the Olympic ski jump to go and stand atop looking down onto the graveyard. Worth getting a tour guide as there's more to Innsbruck than most realise.

Thanks a lot. We will be there shortly after Christmas until after New Years. Most important to us is the cost, we are trying to make this trip as low budget as possible. Is there a rodelbahn for use in the evening?
