Intermediate

You can carve your way through magnificent mountain scenery and almost a vertical mile from the top of each of the three main mountains back to village level.  The longest run is the 10.2 km (6.4 miles) Valluga - Ulmer Hütte - St. Anton route.

A number of famous St. Anton red runs feature high on the list of itineraries to be explored. Kapall, where a long technique-testing red winds its way down the new World Cup downhill run to the village; Schindler, where the long standing classic red (No. 14) to Ulmer Hütte and blue (No. 17) to Rauz will stretch the leg muscles of even the fittest intermediate and Galzig, where the busy Kandahar black run (No. 2) will test your short turns. Rendl offers wide-open slopes with a long home trail back down to village level and is a quiet alternative for those wanting to escape the busier slopes on the Galzig side of town.

Stuben
Due to its colder temperatures Stuben (1,407 m/4,616 ft) offers magnificent skiing on the north-facing Albona (2,400 m/7,874 ft) where the snow remains of a high quality well into May. Three chairlifts give access to excellent skiing on mostly red runs as well as the chance to test your powder skills well away from the busier slopes of St. Anton. From the Albona’s middle station a pisted blue run leads to Alpe Rauz where you can reconnect with the main St. Anton ski area.

Lech - Zurs
Further afield, there is excellent skiing at Lech-Zürs which is easily reached by regular bus service or taxi. Start at Zürs from where you can ski via Zug to sunny slopeside terraces at Oberlech for lunch and then down to Lech village to take the cable car up the other side to complete the White Ring circuit by skiing back to Zürs then a ski bus or taxi back to St Anton. Or if feeling lazy there is good apres ski at the Tannbergerhof Hotel ice bar in Lech but if unable to afford a taxi to St Anton make sure you check out the times of the last bus.
