The Antoniusweg leads to the Stockibach viewing platform in St. Anton am Arlberg. From there, you can enjoy views of the village and the surrounding mountain landscape; a waterfall can be heard along the way. The options described range from trails and natural attractions to indoor and outdoor climbing. When planning a trip and looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to first consider what kind of days you have in mind: hiking, climbing or tackling a challenging tour.
Trails and views in St. Anton
The destination of the Antoniusweg is clearly named: the Stockibach viewing platform. From there, your gaze takes in St. Anton am Arlberg and the surrounding mountain landscape; along the way, you can hear a waterfall. Senn’s WunderWanderWeg is laid out differently: it is a circular trail with a total of 25 adventure stations and starts at the Sennhütte. This lets you choose between a trail to a viewing platform and a circular route with stations. Check access to Senn’s WunderWanderWeg locally before your visit.
Climbing: indoors, outdoors and via ferrata
The ARL-PARK in St. Anton am Arlberg offers around 65 indoor climbing routes, 30 outdoor routes and a bouldering area of approximately 80 m². The climbing options in the park therefore differ in location and format from a mountain tour. Check current operating information before your visit.
The Arlberg via ferrata runs for around three kilometres above St. Anton am Arlberg, reaching the summit of the WeiĂźschrofenspitze at 2,752 metres. This challenging tour requires skill, good fitness and a full via ferrata kit. Check the current conditions and access before setting out. The via ferrata therefore calls for a different kind of day plan than the climbing options at ARL-PARK: the route, summit destination and the equipment required take centre stage.
The Arlberg winter via ferrata also offers an option that is of particular interest to ski mountaineers. It is traversed on skis or touring boots. Include the current avalanche bulletin in your planning.
Hiking trails and seasonal nature
The hiking trail network in St. Anton am Arlberg is stated to cover more than 300 kilometres; individual routes and their current conditions may vary. On the Rendl slopes south of St. Anton, alpine roses bloom especially in June and July, forming a “red sea” there. The flowering period may vary. If you would like to include this seasonal natural attraction in your trip plans, keep the stated period in mind and check the conditions for your specific tour.
Regional orientation: the Landeck district
To put the destinations in St. Anton into a wider context, it helps to look at the broader Landeck travel region. In the district’s tourism context, St. Anton am Arlberg is considered a classic destination. The district’s main areas include the Inn Valley around Landeck, the uppermost section of the Inn Valley with the Sonnenterrasse, the Paznaun Valley and the Stanzertal; the Kaunertal branches off from the Inn Valley.
Along with the FinstermĂĽnz Pass and Reschen Pass, the Arlberg Pass is an important crossing to the neighbouring regions of the district. The Landeck district is connected to neighbouring central areas via the Inntal motorway, the Arlberg expressway, the Reschen road and the Arlberg railway. This overview describes transport links at a regional level and helps you connect your search for a holiday apartment with your travel plans.
When choosing your focus, you can take the different requirements into account: climbing in the park, a trail to a viewpoint or a challenging via ferrata tour each call for different considerations. Decide what you want your days to revolve around and tailor your holiday apartment search accordingly.
