 Poster: A snowHead
|
Off to St Anton for first time this weekend! We're in a Sunday to Sunday chalet but would like to drive Saurday evening stay somewhere en route and get out skiing on Sunday. Can anyone help with 2 questions:
- Anyone recommend somewhere within 90 mins from St Anton on the road from Zurich likely to have availability on a Saturday night (and ideally where we can get a decent meal)
- Where is the easiest place to drive to with parking, where we can buy a pass and get on the slopes quickly on the Sunday morning?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

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

You might bf able to park fairly easilly in stuben - there's a couple of car parks there and are close to the lift pass office. It's also at the Zurich end of the arlberg. You could also consider sonnenkopf for the same reasons but having never skied there in my 8/9 visits  I couldn't comment on parking/lift passes. Otherwise nasserein end of town is better for parking near a lift station.
Can't help on the 90 mins from St Anton but ideally you would bf past the tunnel that joins germany to Austria as it can get pretty busy

Parkyparcours, Doubt you'll get any deals on ski hire. It is a cartel in St Anton for ski hire

Park in the Nasserein car park (bottom end of the St Anton town), right next to the Nassereinbahn upto Gampen. Sorry can't help with the first question.

I've never stayed there, but Bregenz is just a few minutes out of your way and roughly an hour or so from St Anton. I've heard it's a nice place. Failing that there is Dornbirn, which looks a bit drab (seen only from the road I hasten to add!), but I suspect you'd find an Ibis type hotel there.
Have fun in St Anton!

BobinCH, Sonnekpf ski area has a big car park right by the lift, just the orher side of the Arlberg pass from St Anton. We stopped there for the Saturday on the way hamoe after leaving St Anton last winter. Nice little ski area, fine for an odd day.

BobinCH, there's a big underground car park just as you come into St Anton - Under the new Rendlbahn building.
PS Take your snow chains - weather looks hairy on Saturday

Are you sure that's a public car park? It's not marked on the map (here: http://www.stantonamarlberg.com/images/stories/pdf-dateien/ortsplaene/op-stanton-stchristoph.pdf) as parking. However, the old Rendl lift still seems to have parking and it's only a 5 minute walk to the lifts from there.
Weather does seem rather promising... getting very jealous already.

The only free parking we found was the old Rendl lift station, our as boabski says drive thru to Stuben and park there, better off piste and snow

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

You know it makes sense.

BobinCH, If lunching in stuben dont go to the Berghaus Stuben, which is the most obvious choice as it's the closest to the piste/chair. Used to be good but now has new owners specialising in dumplings  and is pretty crap to be honest. I've not been this year but assuming it's still the same.
Try hotel post or hannes Schneider haus a wee bit up the main street.
Enjoy your trip and make sure you pay a visit to the griabli (opp mooserwirt) when the band is playing
