Very beautiful and big resort giving a lot of opportunities. Prices are high (ski pass, food and drinks on the slopes) but this is well known. Slops are medium difficult in general but good maintained. Some signs on the slopes could be improved a little bit. Villages around the resort are amazing and each of them are giving different look. No problem with parking anywhere. All slopes were open in February.

Spectacular skiing. The resort is absolutely massive, we could barely make it from one side to the other in one day, if you spent a week here you would hardly be able to get to all of the pistes. The  abundance of high speed lifts and gondolas also ensured that we essentially never had to wait to get in some wonderful skiing in a gorgeous location.

Our experience in Ski Arlberg was disappointing. Despite having one of the most expensive ski passes, the skiing conditions did not meet expectations. Many of the ski lifts in St. Anton appeared outdated and unsuitable for taller individuals. For instance, my husband, who is 195cm tall, could not comfortably fit into most of the lifts. Specifically the space between the seat and the hold was too small, forcing him to keep his legs suspended in the air without the support of the leg holder. This caused significant discomfort throughout the day. Additionally, the ski slopes were in poor condition early in the day, with many being overly worn and potentially unsafe by 9:30 am. Overall, the value for the price was underwhelming, especially compared to resorts like Ischgl, which offers better skiing conditions and more modern facilities at a lower cost.

Pros:
- The scenery is absolutely breathtaking—picture-perfect mountains and charming villages that look like they’re straight out of a fairy tale.
- Surprisingly more affordable compared to neighboring Zermatt, making it a great option for those seeking value without sacrificing beauty or skiing quality.
- Vibrant apres ski scene

Cons:
- Navigation can be quite tricky. The ski routes are not always intuitive, and it’s common to need to take lifts down to return to certain towns, like St. Anton, which can be frustrating after a long day.
- Austrian cuisine...

Beautiful but NOT for beginners

First of all the area is stunning, the scenery the buildings - everything is like something from an Alpine postcard.

Every restaurant we ate in over a week long trip was fantastic, however expensive, with the Post and Hotel Krone being our favourites.

Our hotel, Garni Schneider, was in a perfect location for the ski lifts and restaurants. One thing the resort overall is is missing is bars and a bit of nightlife.

Now the important part, skiing. This is 100% not a resort for beginners. If you read some of the reviews at 3 stars and below you will see the same comments. I class myself as a beginner having learned on artificial snow slopes and then having been on two prior ski holidays to Morzine, France. In Morzine I was comfortable on ALL of the blue slopes and even managed to challenge myself on a couple of red slopes. In Oberlech I couldn’t do the blue slopes, or when I did some of the “easier” ones (210) I was not able to enjoy them. The run down to Lech town was very steep and by 2pm covered in moguls (see photos). There are also a lot of really experienced skiers there who will zoom past you on the blue slopes. Nothing at all against them, but it does make it even harder. There are other things to do like nice walks, gondola rides, tobogganing and St Anton is a nice little town not too far away.

Another tip is to bring cash, anything under 10 Euros and they don’t accept card in Austria. Taxis and buses are cash only.

If you are an experienced skier, you will love this place!  I was jealous of all those making it look so easy!  :-) If you’re not and you want to enjoy the skiing, don’t go. Lots of the reviews on websites will say that it is good for beginners, it’s definitely not. Also worth noting that there are no green runs in Austria.
