Hospitz Alms in St Christopher for lovely lunch.
Apres in Mooserwirt, Taps, and KK on slopes
Job done!

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

SwedishSnow, Did you get half board as there is not a great deal in terms of places to eat out especially if you are on a budget. Though I do remember one pizza restaurant.
Also, 5 years ago it was quite difficult getting a bus back there after 8.30pm. This may have changed, check out the info from the tourist office.

Not much in Pettneu itself - pizza place, internet launderette (lol) and a (failry nice actually) 'old mans pub.' Taxi isn't too much to/from St Anton though, mornings/later afternoon (ie for skiing) busses are free and regular, so no probs. Middle of the day busses are less regular, if you have a big apres session you will probably need a bus as I don't think they run much between skiing times and the night bus service. Night bus service runs until 2am I think.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

SwedishSnow, Our favourite areas to ski are stuben, rendl and lech basically because they are quieter than the main areas of st Anton and well pisted. Oberlech is a nice stop for lunch, as is stuben, the hospitz alm and a lot of places in fairness. No secret of all the good après places but do stop off at the griabli (accross from mooserwirt), underground on the piste and Kandahar to see gunar. Enjoy

thanks for all the answers!
Spinout, we only have breakfast included, so we need lunch and dinner places every day. My friend has never skied before so she will need to take lessons, I am an intermediate skiier so the best would be if we left Pettneu in the morning and stayed out the whole day in St Anton, meeting up for lunch and apres and then taking the bus home again. At least this is my plan, dont know how well it will turn out in reality. We are not on a too tight budget, both of us work, but on the other hand skiing trips tend to get expensive so its of course good to find out the places where one gets good value for money

SwedishSnow, I only know Pettneu because we walked there from St Anton on our day off a couple of times. I thought it was quite a cute village and I only wish I could remember the name of the lovely little restaurant we ate lunch in. It was on the main road through town anyway, right near to the bus stop where we caught the bus back to St Anton.
If you ever fancy it, you've got a small mountain at Pettneu itself to ski: http://www.skipettneu.com/de/winter/das-skigebiet/skipanorama/
It was never open the year we were there (terrible snow conditions), so we never got to try it out, but I'd love to read a report about it. But obviously I'd expect St Anton takes precedence, especially for just a 4-day trip!

thanks again for the good advise! Pettneu seems to be the place for my friend at least, and maybe one day of cross country skiing for us both
Spinout, so how do I get a ski buddy? Just advertise here on the forum you mean?

SwedishSnow, Yes place a post saying you are looking for a ski buddy on the dates you are out and your level of skiing ability. I am sure you will have a great time.

we stayed in a cracking family run hotel one time in Pettnau(sorry can't remember the name) w ecouldn't find anywhere to stay in St Anton but the hotel ran 2 mini buses throughout the day back and forwards which was great. The restaurant food was par excellence and we were on half board terms. would stay back there in a blink of an eye. never did get to ski the local slopes though.
