The skiing here in St.Anton is very varied and really does cater for all tastes - you just have to know your way around - here again inside knowledge is a great help!!  Here I will tell you as much as I can about St.Anton and where it is best for you to ski, taking into account your ability level. St.Anton has three main ski areas - Galzig, Gampen/Kapall & Rendl running to 260km of prepared piste, in addition to this, St.Anton is also linked to the Lech & Zurs ski areas.

There are 185km of deep powder slopes. St.Anton rightly has the reputation of having some of the best off piste skiing in the world. There are plenty of runs for the intermediate skier too and you can ski many kilometres to the surrounding villages, have lunch and then ski home..... Around 40% of the runs in St.Anton are prepared for the beginner, 50% advanced and 10% for the expert skier. ;lmjdlqdj fwefwe cwfvcwfwgv b ebeb . lkl;ddfdvrg gegergdghbh jhryjryt jtyjt jtjtyj jtyjtyj hrhrtjh jtjyt gwag jrtyjty hehreth jhrjr jhrjrytj jrjrtyj rjrj jhrjh jjrtyjrtyjtjktyjtjtj gerg

New for the 2009/10 season is a much improved fun park on Rendl with many jumps, kickers, rails and slides. In the fun park you will find a table top, wash out board, fun box, pro jump and other obstacles for those of you who like to try out or show off your freestyle skills!  The fun park along with the new Rendlbahn (opened for the 2009/10 season) when combined with the great off piste skiing to be found on Rendl should make this area very popular. The new Rendlbahn has been built at the top of the village about 100 metres from the Galzigbahn so gone is the annoying walk / bus ride out to the old lift. The only downside with Rendl is that it does not get the sun in the mornings so on cold days it can be very hard and icy up there.

If you are coming here as a novice or outright virgin skier then my advice is to book yourself lessons - you cannot teach yourself to play golf and it is the same with skiing. Try to teach yourself and all that you will achieve is to ski totally incorrectly with many bad habits that most likely will lead to you hurting yourself, and this advice applies to learning to ski anywhere not just here.... I ski for around 120 days each season and I still have lessons!! I believe that Mr Tiger Woods still has a coach and he isn't too shabby at hitting that little white ball... There is a good ski school here and if you can afford it I would say get individual lessons - it works out the same cost wise in the long run but you just get up to speed quicker! There are also quite a few private freelance instructors and guides working in the resort - for further info drop me an email and I should be able to point you in the right direction.

For those of you who are thinking of coming to St.Anton for the off piste skiing – I would say Yes Yes Yes – it is fantastic here.  But you really should book yourself a qualified guide and make sure that you have all the correct safety equipment - AND that you know how to use it correctly. There is a lot of information about safety equipment in the off piste "skiing" link
