St Anton Ski Resort Boarding & freestyle

The inevitable flat sections of St. Anton’s connecting valleys aren’t obvious snowboard territory but plenty of riders keep coming back. They are mostly experienced and attracted by St Anton's endless off-piste opportunities despite the long walk-outs from some of the best routes.

Boarders and freestylers can check out the terrain park on the old Masslift stretch at Rendl which includes a half pipe 40 m x 17 m (131 ft x 55 ft ), 8-10 barriers, a pro-jump, two quarter pipes, washboard, table top, slide and a long jump. The half pipe is maintained three or four times a week. Rendl is good for beginner and intermediate boarders, with wide, open slopes and around 28 km (17 miles) of marked runs, 39% of which is suitable for beginners, 50% for intermediate and 11% for advanced riders.

Beyond St Anton there is plenty more excellent boarding nearby at Stuben and Lech-Zurs both on and off-piste .
