Highest resort in the Arlberg with great access to the slopes.
St Christoph is the highest ski holiday resort in the Arlberg ski region. It has immediate access to the skiing above St Anton as well as ski pistes down to Stuben am Arlberg. The skiing above St Christoph is ideal for the beginner or intermediate but beyond this the St Anton steeps and the powder of Stuben await for expert skiers.
The ski resort of St Christoph is upmarket and stylish and often drowns in snow - the height and the snow record of the region make St Christoph one of the snowiest places in the Alps. Much of the accommodation in St Christoph is either slope-side or ski-in / ski-out and the compact resort offers excellent access to and from the snow.

ST CHRISTOPH SKIING
St Christoph gets incredible depths of snow. At 1800m and located in the biggest snowfall region in the Alps, St Christoph is often deep in snow. The skiing takes place right out of the heart of the resort with a beginner’s ski area as well as the St Christoph ski lift that reaches up to Galzig and the St Anton ski area. Just above St Christoph the skiing is ideal for beginners and intermediates, the snow quality is often superb and the ski pistes are pretty gentle. Beyond the St Christoph ski area lies the St Anton and Stuben ski areas.
Stuben is rated as having the best off-piste skiing and snowboarding in Austria, possibly the Alps whilst St Anton am Arlberg has some of the best steep skiing in the Alps. Both St Anton and Stuben are located just beyond the St Christoph ski area and can be accessed and exited on ski pistes. With the new Flexenbahn gondola into the Lech-Zürs ski area and the recent lift connecting Lech and Warth, the skiing possibilities in the Arlberg are outstanding.

Paragliding
Strapped to your pilot, take to the skies & soar high above the snow-drenched peaks of the Arlberg for a truly amazing experience.
ST CHRISTOPH RESORT
The ski resort of St Christoph is compact and upmarket with a number of large, impressive hotels.
