The birthplace of alpine skiing, a mecca for skiing both on and off piste. This resort is for serious skiers and those who like to burn the candle at both ends!! Visit the fabulous Moserwirt after skiing, or the Krazy Kanguruh, and dance your way into the evening.
Home to our Backcountry courses in January, there are multiple amazing off piste tours covering St Anton, Zurs, Lech, Rendl, Stuben and more. All on one ski pass with masses of hidden powder. St Anton never lets us down!

This was our first time in St Anton (very much not our first time with Snoworks though!). Unsurprisingly, with Lee at the helm, the on-the-ground organisation from Snoworks was impeccable. As a somewhat nervous skier, I really appreciated Lee’s patience and guidance and my skiing definitely made a couple of wee breakthroughs thanks to his instruction. The one element we hadn’t experienced before and were unsure of prior to arrival was the alternating between days with instructors and days with guides – but we couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Florian! He read the group (which was quite a diverse one) perfectly and put together days of adventures that were perfect, even managing to find the one ray of sunshine on the mountain on a white-out morning! Thanks as always to all at Snoworks for an incredible week on the slopes – can’t wait till our next Snoworks course!
High quality guiding by a professional and friendly crew. Safety always considered off piste. Lots of fresh snow found. Some helpful tips too Best guiding service in the business.
A fantastic balance allowing people to challenge personal boundaries within a safe but testing environment. The piste is now purely a road to the adventure that is Backcountry!
Another fantastic week with the Snoworks team! Their enthusiasm, passion and sheer skill are inspirational. What a refreshing change to have such a straight forward no nonsense approach to exploring the mountain.
