 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello Guys,
What can you tell me about St. Anton & Arlberg? We are a group of boards from Romania and we plan to go on February to St. Anton. We hope to find there a paradise for free riding and back-country. Is it possible?
We are coming from La Grave

, a great place where we were on February this year.
If somebody can send me some contact for accommodation, I’ll be grateful. We are looking for b&b in St. Anton or nearby area.
Thanks for your kind answer!
Lucian

nice friendly B&B in quite a good location in Nasserein .. about 300 m from the Nassereinbahn .. you can actually punt across a field to the lift if you don't like to walk
and about 10 minutes walk into town in the evening

St Anton is a great place for off-piste free riding, but as a more general resort, of course, there are lots of pistes too (and much of the off-piste is not as hard as La Grave). So you need to be told where to find the best off-piste.
I suggest a guide is worth it, but a map and the off-piste guidebook (which you can buy in the resort) will give you some idea.
stanton is our authority on the place. No doubt he will be along soon.
There are not many cheap hotels and you will find most places booked up by now.
By the way, I ski with a Roumanian who lives in London now. Here is his story of our last holiday.

I'm new here, but spent a week in St Anton in Mar 2005, and loved it so much went back for another week early April. For me, it is the ultimate ski resort. Lots of piste - mainly intermediate and advanced. Not so great for beginners but the Nasserein set of drag lifts are where most of the instruction happens. Brilliant off-piste - everything from just skiing the powder along the sides of the groomed stuff, as well as down cracks and ravines and through trees. The best skiing in the mornings we discovered was on the south facing slopes in Rendl, skiing the St Anton side of the valley later in the day. If you get bored, your lift pass also covers Lech and Zurs - both fabulous. Lech was the first, and only, time I've seen anyone wearing Chanel skis!
The Apres-ski in St Anton is legendary - Get to the Mooserwirt about 4pm, stay till it gets dark, ski down carefully, shower, a bite to eat, and head for Kandahar!
